“I would say that introverts make some of the best international philosophers. The less common attribute of the introverted lifestyle - a close societal connection, as such a connection disappears or changes in relevance as the currents of the winds change - leaves too much room for one's own cultural bias. Instead, introverts tend to turn inward, the laboratory of being and all its forms. This is the most accurate study of the individual human being, which is in turn, rather than those affected by cultural limitations, the most universal reflection of human understanding and human behavior.” HumansFormTurnsIndividualUnderstandingHuman BeingsRoomsCommonStudyToo MuchWindBehaviorReflectionConnectionsUniversalInternationalPhilosopherCurrentsDisappearLifestyleLimitationAffectedAttributesAccurateBiasInwardIntrovertHuman BehaviorLaboratoryRelevanceIntroverted Author:Criss Jami
“When we consider the close connection between science and industrial development on the one hand, and between literary and aesthetic cultivation and an aristocratic social organization on the other, we get light on the opposition between technical scientific studies and refining literary studies. We have before us the need of overcoming this separation in education if society is to be truly democratic.” IfsNeedsHandsLightSocialStudyDevelopmentConnectionsOrganizationOvercomingDemocraticSeparationOppositionAestheticCultivationRefiningAristocraticSocial Organization Book:Democracy And Education Source: Democracy And Education

“General Systems Theory is a name which has come into use to describe a level of theoretical model-building which lies somewhere between the highly generalized constructions of pure mathematics and the specific theories of the specialized disciplines. Mathematics attempts to organize highly general relationships into a coherent system, a system however which does not have any necessary connections with the "real" world around us. It studies all thinkable relationships abstracted from any concrete situation or body of empirical knowledge.” WorldDoeRealUseBodyLyingNamesLevelsSituationStudyBuildingTheoryDisciplinePureModelsConnectionsMathematicsReal WorldConstructionConcreteOrganizeTheoreticalThinkableSystems Theory Author:Kenneth E.

“My studies have shown that the process of falling into mature love happens in four steps. When you meet a woman, you subconsciously look for cues that she's the kind os person you should be with. That's assumption. If she passes the assumption test, you begin to get to know her to find out if she's appropriate for you. If she is, you're attracted. If, as you get to know her, the attraction is reinforced with joy or pain or both, you'll fall into infatuation. And if you manage to make a connection and attach to each other during infatuation, you'll move into mature, unconditional love.” IfsKnowsShouldLooksKindPersonsHappensPainMovingJoyFallProcessStepsStudyFourConnectionsTestsAttractionManageAssumptionAppropriateUnconditional LoveMatureInfatuationUnconditionalMature Love Author:Jennifer Crusie
