“The more serious poetry of the race has a philosophical structure of thought. It contains beliefs and conceptions in regard to the nature of man and the universe, God and the soul, fate and providence, suffering, evil and destiny. Great poetry always has, like the higher religion, a metaphysical content. It deals with the same august issues, experiences and conceptions as metaphysics or first philosophy.” MenFirstsSoulPhilosophySufferingUniverseEvilBeliefDealsRaceDestinyIssuesFateSeriousHigherPhilosophicalRegardStructureConceptionProvidenceMetaphysicsMetaphysicalAugustNature Of ManGreat PoetGreat Poetry Book:The Field of Philosophy: An Outline of Lectures on Introduction to Philosophy Source: The Field of Philosophy: An Outline of Lectures on Introduction to Philosophy
“Every brand of religion maintains, and is, a permanent mechanism for transmitting ideas and values - whether one regards those values as admirable or ridiculous. Secularist organizations, with their generally looser, nonhierarchical structures, lack the power to hand down and disseminate their heritage in such a systematic way.” WayIdeasHandsReligionValuesOrganizationRegardDown AndStructureRidiculousBrandsPermanentHeritageMechanismAdmirableSystematic Author:Susan Jacoby
“The evolutionary vision is agnostic in regard to systems in the universe of greater complexity than those of which human beings have clear knowledge. It recognizes aesthetic, moral, and religious ideas and experiences as a species, in this case of mental structures or of images, which clearly interacts with other species in the world's great' ecosystem.” WorldHumansIdeasUniverseReligiousHuman BeingsMoralVisionCasesClearGreaterRegardStructureSpeciesComplexityAestheticAgnosticEcosystems Author:Kenneth E.

“In view of the importance of philanthropy in our society, it is surprising that so little attention has been given to it by economic or social theorists. In economic theory, especially, the subject is almost completely ignored. This is not, I think, because economists regard mankind as basically selfish or even because economic man is supposed to act only in his self-interest; it is rather because economics has essentially grown up around the phenomenon of exchange and its theoretical structure rests heavily on this process.” ThinkingMenLittlesHas BeensSelfGivenSocialProcessInterestViewsAttentionEconomicSubjectsMankindTheoryEconomicsImportanceRegardStructureSelfishOur SocietyPhenomenonSurprisingPhilanthropyIgnoredEconomistTheoreticalSelf InterestTheoristsEconomic Theory Author:Kenneth E.

“It [knowledge] is clearly related to information, which we can now measure; and an economist especially is tempted to regard knowledge as a kind of capital structure, corresponding to information as an income flow. Knowledge, that is to say, is some kind of improbable structure or stock made up essentially of patterns - that is, improbable arrangements, and the more improbable the arrangements, we might suppose, the more knowledge there is.” KindMadeMightInformationFlowRegardStructurePatternsIncomeRelatedArrangementsEconomistTemptedImprobableCorrespondingMore Knowledge Author:Kenneth E.

“To do justice to modern technology's rigid linear structure, to the lofty gridwork of cranes and bridges, to the dynamism of machines operating at one thousand horsepower - only photography is capable of that. What those who are attached to the painterly style regard as photography's defect, the mechanical reproduction of form - is just what makes it superior to all other means of expression.” MeanFormJusticeTechnologyModernStyleExpressionThousandPhotographyCapableMachinesRegardStructureSuperiorsBridgesDefectsLoftyReproductionLinearDynamismCranesModern TechnologyHorsepower Author:Albert Renger-Patzsch
“Jesus picked up the conversation. "As the crowning glory of creation, you were made in Our image, unencumbered by structure and free to simply 'be' in relationship with Me and one another.

“Observation by means of the microscope will reveal more wonderful things than those viewed in regard to mere structure and connection: for while the heart is still beating the contrary (i.e., in opposite directions in the different vessels) movement of the blood is observed in the vessels-though with difficulty-so that the circulation of the blood is clearly exposed.” HeartMeanStillsDifferentScienceWonderWonderfulBloodMovementConnectionsOppositesDifficultyRegardStructureMereContraryObservationExposedWonderful ThingsVesselCirculationMicroscopes Author:Marcello Malpighi
“BEAUTY will result from the form and correspondence of the whole, with respect to the several parts, of the parts with regard to each other, and of these again to the whole; that the structure may appear an entire and compleat body, wherein each member agrees with the other, and all necessary to compose what you intend to form.” MayWholeBodyFormResultsBeautyMembersRespectRegardAgreeStructureAppearanceCompletionComposingCorrespondenceEntiretyInterconnection Author:Andrea Palladio
“We've tried to create something that's much more like being at a mountain resort. Many of these types of facilities done in the past paid little regard to structure or the environment and just focused on the sport of skiing. We've gone a step further and provided an immersive environment.” LittlesDonePastSportsStepsGoneEnvironmentTypeMountainPaidRegardStructureFocusedResortsFacilitySkiing Author:Phil Taylor
