Experimental Designs

Famous quotes containing the words experimental and/or designs:

“The very hope of experimental philosophy, its expectation of constructing the sciences into a true philosophy of nature, is based on induction, or, if you please, the a priori presumption, that physical causation is universal; that the constitution of nature is written in its actual manifestations, and needs only to be deciphered by experimental and inductive research; that it is not a latent invisible writing, to be brought out by the magic of mental anticipation or metaphysical mediation.”
—Chauncey Wright (1830–1875)

“His designs were strictly honourable, as the phrase is; that is, to rob a lady of her fortune by way of marriage.”
—Henry Fielding (1707–1754)
