Vial Judgments

Famous quotes containing the words vial and/or judgments:

“Beyond the glass
The colourless vial of day painlessly spilled
My world back after a year....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“I hope I may claim in the present work to have made it probable that the laws of arithmetic are analytic judgments and consequently a priori. Arithmetic thus becomes simply a development of logic, and every proposition of arithmetic a law of logic, albeit a derivative one. To apply arithmetic in the physical sciences is to bring logic to bear on observed facts; calculation becomes deduction.”
—Gottlob Frege (1848–1925)
