Sage System

Famous quotes containing the words sage and/or system:

“The sage as astronomer.—As long as you still experience the stars as something “above you,” you still lack viewpoint of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“The dominant metaphor of conceptual relativism, that of differing points of view, seems to betray an underlying paradox. Different points of view make sense, but only if there is a common co-ordinate system on which to plot them; yet the existence of a common system belies the claim of dramatic incomparability.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
