Joke/rules

Famous quotes containing the words joke and/or rules:

“Postmodernism is among other things a sick joke at the expense of ... revolutionary avant-gardism.”
—Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)

“One might get the impression that I recommend a new methodology which replaces induction by counterinduction and uses a multiplicity of theories, metaphysical views, fairy tales, instead of the customary pair theory/observation. This impression would certainly be mistaken. My intention is not to replace one set of general rules by another such set: my intention is rather to convince the reader that all methodologies, even the most obvious ones, have their limits.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
