“So far as discipline is concerned, freedom means not its absence but the use of higher and more rational forms as contrasted with those that are lower or less rational. A free discipline controls the individual by appealing to his reason and conscience, and therefore to his self-respect; while an unfree control works upon some lower phase of the mind, and so tends to degrade him. It is freedom to be disciplined in as rational a manner as you are fit for.” MindMeanSelfReasonUseFormIndividualHigherDisciplineFitConscienceConcernedAbsenceRationalSelf RespectPhasesDegradeUnfree Book:Human Nature and the Social Order Source: Human Nature and the Social Order
“There is some conflict between religion and science in my world, but that's nothing new. Science, at its root, is a rational discipline. Religion, on the other hand, is fundamentally trans-rational. Both of them attempt to solve problems, but since their methodology is vastly different, they can't help but come into conflict.” WorldDifferentHelpingProblemHandsDisciplineConflictRootsSolveRationalScience And ReligionTransNothing NewMethodology Author:Patrick Rothfuss

“Morality is neither rational nor absolute nor natural.

“I cannot pursue my architecture without considering the minimization of energy consumption, simple and direct technologies, a respect for site, climate, place and culture. Together, these disciplines represent for me a fantastic platform for experimentation and expression. Of particular importance is the junction of the rational and the poetic resulting hopefully in works that resonate and belong to where they reside.” TogetherCultureEnergySimpleTechnologyParticularExpressionDisciplineDirectImportanceClimateArchitectureRationalPursueHopefullyFantasticPoeticPlatformsConsumptionSiteConsideringExperimentationJunctionEnergy Consumption Author:Glenn Murcutt
