“The application of psychoanalysis to sociology must definitely guard against the mistake of wanting to give psychoanalytic answers where economic, technical, or political facts provide the real and sufficient explanation of sociological questions. On the other hand, the psychoanalyst must emphasize that the subject of sociology, society, in reality consists of individuals, and that it is these human beings, rather than abstract society as such, whose actions, thoughts, and feelings are the object of sociological research.” GivingHumansRealFactsFeelingsHandsRealityActionPoliticalIndividualHuman BeingsAnswersMistakeEconomicSubjectsObjectsResearchExplanationSufficientAbstractApplicationSociologyPsychoanalysisThoughts And FeelingsSociologicalPsychoanalytic Author:Erich Fromm

“Tell me," said the atheist , "Is there a God really?" Said the master, "If you want me to be perfectly honest with you, I will not answer." Later the disciples demanded to know why he had not answered. "Because the question is unanswerable," said the Master. "So you are an atheist?" "Certainly not.

“To judge sins is the business of one who is sinless, but who is sinless except God? Who ever thinks about the multitude of his own sins in his heart never wants to make the sins of others a topic of conversation. To judge a man who has gone astray is a sign of pride, and God resists the proud. On the other hand, one who every hour prepares himself to give answer for his own sins will not quickly lift up his head to examine the mistakes of others.” ThinkingMenWantInspirationalGivingHeartHandsChristianHoursReligiousSinAnswersMistakeGoneJudgingPrideProudConversationLiftsOrthodoxMultitudesTopics Author:Gennadius of Constantinople

“To know whether you can trust a particular intuitive judgment, there are two questions you should ask: Is the environment in which the judgment is made sufficiently regular to enable predictions from the available evidence? The answer is yes for diagnosticians, no for stock pickers. Do the professionals have an adequate opportunity to learn the cues and the regularities?
