Scientific Theories

Famous quotes containing the words scientific and/or theories:

    The scientific spirit is of more value than its products, and irrationally held truths may be more harmful than reasoned errors.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    The two most far-reaching critical theories at the beginning of the latest phase of industrial society were those of Marx and Freud. Marx showed the moving powers and the conflicts in the social-historical process. Freud aimed at the critical uncovering of the inner conflicts. Both worked for the liberation of man, even though Marx’s concept was more comprehensive and less time-bound than Freud’s.
    Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
