Parsable External Entities

Famous quotes containing the words external and/or entities:

    “The boundary line between self and external world bears no relation to reality; the distinction between ego and world is made by spitting out part of the inside, and swallowing in part of the outside.”
    —Norman O. Brown (b. 1913)

    “Experimental work provides the strongest evidence for scientific realism. This is not because we test hypotheses about entities. It is because entities that in principle cannot be ‘observed’ are manipulated to produce a new phenomena
    [sic] and to investigate other aspects of nature.”
    —Ian Hacking (b. 1936)
