“It really is worth the trouble to invent a new symbol if we can thus remove not a few logical difficulties and ensure the rigour of the proofs. But many mathematicians seem to have so little feeling for logical purity and accuracy that they will use a word to mean three or four different things, sooner than make the frightful decision to invent a new word.” IfsMeanLittlesDifferentUseFeelingsSeemsScienceThreeDecisionFourTroubleLogicDifficultyProofSymbolsPurityDifferent ThingsRemoveLogicalMathematicianAccuracyNomenclatureNew WordsRigour Book:Translations from the Philosophical Writings of Gottlob Frege Source: Translations from the Philosophical Writings of Gottlob Frege
“So how do theists respond to arguments like this? [The Argument from Evil] They say there is a reason for evil, but it is a mystery. Well, let me tell you this: I'm actually one hundred feet tall even though I only appear to be six feet tall. You ask me for proof of this. I have a simple answer: it's a mystery. Just accept my word for it on faith. And that's just the logic theists use in their discussions of evil.” WellsReasonUseReligionEvilAsksSimpleAnswersAcceptingMysteryFeetSixHundredArgumentLogicLet MeProofAsk MeDiscussionTallTheist Author:Quentin Smith
“... landscapes or still-lifes I paint in between the abstract works; they constitute about one-tenth of my production. On the one hand they are useful, because I like to work from nature - although I do use a photograph - because I think that any detail from nature has a logic I would like to see in abstraction as well.” ThinkingWellsArtStillsUseHandsPaintingLogicPaintPhotographProductionsDetailsLandscapeAbstractAbstraction Book:Gerhard Richter: writings 1961-2007 Source: Gerhard Richter: writings 1961-2007
