“The doctrine of foods is of great ethical and political significance. Food becomes blood, blood becomes heart and brain, thoughts and mind stuff. Human fare is the foundation of human culture and thought. Would you improve a nation? Give it, instead of declamations against sin, better food. Man is what he eats [Der Mensch ist, was er isst].” MenGivingMindHumansHeartSciencePoliticalCultureNationsStuffSinBrainBloodFoodFoundationDoctrineSignificanceEthicalHeart And BrainDeclamation Author:Ludwig Feuerbach
“One cannot inquire into the foundations and nature of mathematics without delving into the question of the operations by which the mathematical activity of the mind is conducted. If one failed to take that into account, then one would be left studying only the language in which mathematics is represented rather than the essence of mathematics.” IfsMindWould BeLeftLanguageStudyActivityEssenceAccountsMathematicsFoundationMathematicalOperationsDelving Author:L.

“For some days I quietly worked out in my own mind the metaphysics of Cosmic Unity. The more I thought about it, the more convinced I became that it was the living truth. It was logically incontrovertible. It provided for the first time a firm foundation for ethics. It offered mankind the radical change of heart and mind that was our only hope of peace at a time of desperate danger. Only one small problem remained. I must find a way to convert the world to my way of thinking.” ThinkingWorldWayMindFirstsHeartProblemMy OwnMankindDangerEthicsFirst TimeFoundationUnityConvincedRadicalMy WayFirmDesperateCosmicMetaphysicsHeart And MindWay Of ThinkingChange Of HeartRadical ChangeFirm FoundationSmall Problems Author:Freeman Dyson
