“I haven't done a lot of things in my career that my kids can watch, because they are 8, 6 and 3, and they are pretty young; so given the concepts that the film was about a superhero, it was a black superhero, and it was a father and son type partnership.” DoneKidsFilmYoungFatherGivenBlackCareersWatchesHavensSonTypeConceptsPartnershipSuperheroFather SonFather And Son Author:Blair Underwood
“Psychoanalysis has changed American psychology from a diagnostic to a therapeutic science, not because so many patients are cured by the psychoanalytic technique, but because of the new understanding of psychiatric patients it has given us, and the new and different concept of illness and health.” DifferentGivenUnderstandingPsychologyChangedConceptsPatientIllnessTechniquePsychoanalysisTherapeuticPsychiatricPsychoanalytic Author:Karl A.

“The concept of guilt is found most powerfully developed even in the most primitive communal forms which we know... the man is guilty who violates one of the original laws which dominate the society and which are mostly derived from a divine founder; the boy who is accepted into the tribal community and learns its laws, which bind him thenceforth, learns to promise; this promise is often given under the sign of death, which is symbolically carried out on the boy, with a symbolical rebirth.” KnowsMenFormLawFoundGivenCommunityBoysDivineHe ManPromiseConceptsOriginalsGuiltAcceptedGuiltyMost PowerfulPrimitiveFoundersRebirth Author:Martin Buber
“It would be naïve to imagine that any analysis of experience is dependent on pattern expressed in language. Any concept, whether or not it forms part of the system of grammatical categories, can be conveyed in any language.

“'Participant' is the incontrovertible new concept given by quantum mechanics. It strikes down the 'observer' of classical theory, the man who stands safely behind the thick glass wall and watches what goes on without taking part.

“The significance of God, cause, number, substance or soul consists, as James asserts, in nothing but the tendency of the given concept to make us act or think. If the world should reach a point at which it ceases to care not only about such metaphysical entities but also about murders perpetrated behind closed frontiers or simply in the dark, one would have to conclude that the concepts of such murders have no meaning, that they represent no 'distinct ideas' or truths, since they do not make any 'sensible difference to anybody.” IfsThinkingWorldShouldIdeasSoulCareGivenCausesDifferencesDarkNumbersBehindsConceptsMurderCeaseTendenciesSubstanceSignificanceSensibleEntityMetaphysicalFrontiers Book:Eclipse of Reason Source: Eclipse of Reason
“Catholicism is the big house of Christianity. It's got many, many rooms in it. And I've always been attracted to the rooms which are to do with prayer. The mystical strain is the strain whereby the whole day can be given over to prayer through what we call lectio divina, prayerful reading of Scripture, through practice of meditation of when one uses the imagination and the intellect with respect to images, and then finally, and most difficult of all, contemplation, where one empties the mind of all images and all ideas, all concepts, in order to be completely attentive to God.” MindIdeasWholeUseBigsOrderReadingHouseGivenDifficultImaginationPrayerRoomsChristianityPracticeMeditationConceptsIntellectScriptureContemplationCatholicismMysticalStrainPrayerfulBig Houses Author:Kevin Hart

“While one could hardly say that philosophers have given much attention to the place that the concept of evil has among our moral concepts, they have done so more in the last ten or so years than they had before. I have, therefore, often wondered why there has been so little discussion of goodness. In Search of Goodness is not only an exception: it is an admirable one.

“It is a thoughtless and immodest presumption to learn anything about art from philosophy. Some do begin as if they hoped to learnsomething new here, since philosophy cannot and should not do anything further than develop the given art experiences and the existing art concepts into a science, improve the views of art, and promote them with the help of a thoroughly scholarly art history, and produce that logical mood about these subjects too which unites absolute liberalism with absolute rigor.” IfsShouldArtPhilosophyHelpingGivenViewsSubjectsProduceConceptsAbsolutesPhilosophicalMoodLiberalismLogicalSomething NewPresumptionArt HistoryRigorScholarly Author:Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
