Finitely Presented Groups

Famous quotes containing the words presented and/or groups:

“God reigns ... when we take a liberal view,—when a liberal view is presented to us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
