Scientific Knowledge

Famous quotes containing the words scientific and/or knowledge:

    As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.
    Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)

    The Germans believe that, no matter where, they can get by on knowledge alone. Art, however, requires skill.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
