Nos/science

Famous quotes containing the words nos and/or science:

    Where beth they biforen us weren,
    —Unknown. Ubi Sunt Qui ante Nos Fuerunt? (L. 1)

    My position is a naturalistic one; I see philosophy not as an a priori propaedeutic or groundwork for science, but as continuous with science. I see philosophy and science as in the same boat—a boat which, to revert to Neurath’s figure as I so often do, we can rebuild only at sea while staying afloat in it. There is no external vantage point, no first philosophy.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
