Famous quotes containing the words general and/or theory:

    “Mathematics is merely the means to a general and ultimate knowledge of man.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “... liberal intellectuals ... tend to have a classical theory of politics, in which the state has a monopoly of power; hoping that those in positions of authority may prove to be enlightened men, wielding power justly, they are natural, if cautious, allies of the “establishment.””
