Experimental Subject

Famous quotes containing the words experimental and/or subject:

“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)

“People love pretty much the same things best. A writer looking for subject inquires not after what he loves best, but after what he alone loves at all.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
