“I do not regard the rise of woman as a bad sign. Rather do I fancy that her traditional subordination was itself an artificial and undesirable condition based on Oriental influences. Our virile Teutonic ancestors did not think their wives unworthy to follow them into battle, or scorn to dream of winged Valkyries bearing them to Valhalla.” ThinkingDreamWomenWifeInfluenceConditionsBattleRegardTraditionalFancyAncestorArtificialScornUnworthyUndesirableSubordinationValhalla Book:Selected Letters 1934-1937 Source: Selected Letters 1934-1937
“The fundamental differences between Marxian and traditional orthodox economics are, first, that the orthodox economists accept the capitalist system as part of the eternal order of Nature, while Marx regards it as a passing phase in the transition from the feudal economy of the past to the socialist economy of the future.” FirstsPastOrderPoliticsNatureCommunityDifferencesWorkMoneyAcceptingHistoryEconomyGenerationsHuman NaturePolicyEternalCapitalismEconomicsRegardFundamentalsStrategySocialismPassingPassingsTraditionalOrthodoxTransitionCapitalistPhasesSocialistEconomistSocialist Economy Book:Essay on Marxian Economics Source: Essay on Marxian Economics
“I regard physics as that subset of magic that works fairly reliably. I regard magick, in the traditional sense, as a kind of physics that we strive to understand and render more reliable. So it all comes down to the same thing, a quest to understand and manipulate the world with a self-consistent and coherent theory .” WorldKindSelfMagicTheoryRegardStrivePhysicsTraditionalConsistentQuestsManipulate Author:Peter J.

“When, therefore, I had long considered this uncertainty of traditional mathematics, it began to weary me that no more definite explanation of the movement of the world-machine established in our behalf by the best and most systematic builder of all, existed among the philosophers who had studied so exactly in other respects the minutest details in regard to the sphere.” WorldLongMovementMachinesRegardMathematicsPhilosopherDetailsTraditionalUncertaintyExplanationSpheresWearyDefiniteBehalfSystematicBuilder Author:Nicolaus Copernicus
“I don't know why you should isolate women in this regard. If you have a traditional leader who says 'I am the sole exclusive ruler, I am the autocrat', it will affect everybody in the area, whether they are men or women. The challenge that South Africa faces, and it is not a new challenge, a whole range of African countries have faced this challenge, is that where you have institutional traditional leadership, which in our country is protected by the Constitution, how does that institution function side by side with a democratic system?” IfsKnowsMenShouldDoeCountryWholeFacesSidesChallengesLeaderAreasFunctionConstitutionRegardInstitutionsDemocraticSouthTraditionalOur CountryRangeSoleProtectedRulersSouth AfricaExclusiveNew Challenges Author:Thabo Mbeki

“Economic theorists, like French chefs in regard to food, have developed stylized models whose ingredients are limited by some unwritten rules. Just as traditional French cooking does not use seaweed or raw fish, so neoclassical models do not make assumptions derived from psychology, anthropology, or sociology. I disagree with any rules that limit the nature of the ingredients in economic models.” DoeUsePsychologyEconomicLimitsModelsRegardCookingFishesTraditionalAssumptionIngredientsDisagreeChefSociologyAnthropologyTheoristsUnwrittenSeaweedFrench CookingEconomic ModelsUnwritten Rules Author:George Akerlof
