“I believe I understand anti-Semitism which is a very complex movement. I see it as a Jew, but without hatred or fear. I recognize what is anti-Semitism is rude jesting, vulgar jealousy of métier, hereditary prejudice; but also what can be considered as in fact legitimate defence.” BelieveFactsI BelieveMovementHatredPrejudiceComplexesJewRudeVulgarDefenceAnti SemitismHereditary Author:Theodor Herzl
“Perhaps randomness is not merely an adequate description for complex causes that we cannot specify. Perhaps the world really works this way, and many events are uncaused in any conventional sense of the word. Perhaps our gut feeling that it cannot be so reflects only our hopes and prejudices, our desperate striving to make sense of a complex and confusing world, and not the ways of nature.” WorldWayFeelingsCausesEventsPrejudiceComplexesStriveMake SenseDesperateGutsDescriptionConventionalConfusingAdequateRandomnessGut Feelings Author:Stephen Jay Gould

“Jim Grimsley's unflinching self-examination of his own boyhood racial prejudices during the era of school desegregation is one of the most compelling memoirs of recent years. Vivid, precise, and utterly honest, How I Shed My Skin is a time-machine of sorts, a reminder that our past is every bit as complex as our present, and that broad cultural changes are often intimate, personal, and idiosyncratic.” YearsSelfSchoolPastBitsHonestSkinsMachinesPrejudiceComplexesMemoirErasIntimateBroadsShedCompellingOur PastPreciseRemindersVividExaminationBoyhoodRacial PrejudiceTime MachineSelf-examinationCultural Change Author:Dinty W.

“In the case of all other sciences, arts, skills, and crafts, everyone is convinced that a complex and laborious programme of learning and practice is necessary for competence. Yet when it comes to philosophy, there seems to be a currently prevailing prejudice to the effect that, although not everyone who has eyes and fingers, and is given leather and last, is at once in a position to make shoes, everyone nevertheless immediately understands how to philosophize.” ArtPhilosophySeemsEyeLastsGivenPracticeCasesEffectsPositionSkillsPrejudicePhilosophicalFingersComplexesShoesConvincedCraftsNeverthelessCompetenceLeatherProgrammesPrevailing Book:Phenomenology of Spirit Source: Phenomenology of Spirit

“I wish that one would be persuaded that psychological experiments, especially those on the complex functions, are not improved [by large studies]; the statistical method gives only mediocre results; some recent examples demonstrate that. The American authors, who love to do things big, often publish experiments that have been conducted on hundreds and thousands of people; they instinctively obey the prejudice that the persuasiveness of a work is proportional to the number of observations. This is only an illusion.” PeopleGivingHas BeensBigsWould BeScienceWishResultsNumbersStudyExampleIllusionFunctionPrejudiceMethodComplexesExperimentsPsychologicalObservationMediocrePublishAmerican Author Author:Alfred Binet
“The way of being with another person which is termed empathic...means temporarily living in their life, moving abut in it delicately without making judgment... to be with another in this way means that for the time being you lay aside the views and values you hold for yourself in order to enter the other's world without prejudice...a complex, demanding, strong yet subtle and gentle way of being.” WorldWayMeanPersonsMovingValuesOrderStrongUnderstandingViewsListeningJudgmentEmpathyPrejudiceLaysComplexesGentleSubtle Author:Carl Rogers
“Sharpe is my favorite role of all that I've played. He's a very complex character. He knows that he's a good soldier, but he will always have to fight the prejudice of aristocratic officers because of his rough working-class upbringing. On the battlefield, he's full of confidence - but off it, he is unsure, a bit shy and ill at ease.” KnowsCharacterFightingBitsClassRolesPrejudiceComplexesSoldierMy FavoriteIllEaseShyRoughOfficersWorking ClassUpbringingBattlefieldsUnsureAristocraticComplex CharactersGood Soldiers Author:Sean Bean
