“A system is said to be coherent if every fact in the system is related every other fact in the system by relations that are not merely conjunctive. A deductive system affords a good example of a coherent system.” IfsSaidFactsExampleRelationRelatedGood Examples Author:Susan Stebbing
“Promenade was totally driven by the context. The internal relationships of measurement and placement related to the central axis of the site. The placement of the rectangular plates followed a strict logic in that the plates tilted away and towards the center line in an asymmetrical counterpoint. However, the perception of the sculpture contradicts the logic of its relation to the site. As you walk inbetween the plates you see fragments, you see the work in part, you cannot grasp the whole.” WholeLinesWalksPerceptionLogicRelationDrivenRelatedInternalsPlatesSiteStrictSculptureFragmentsMeasurementAxesPlacementPromenade Author:Richard Serra

“In almost every place where we find totems we also find a law against persons of the same totem having sexual relations with one another and consequently against their marrying. This, then, is 'exogamy', an institution related to totemism.” PersonsLawRelationInstitutionsRelatedMarryingTotems Book:Totem and Taboo Source: Totem and Taboo

“Yet our interests, the interests of the Russian Federation, include the normalisation of relations with Japan, which is not at the bottom of the agenda. The whole range of what will be proposed for a solution, the entire range of matters related to the normalisation of our relations and what that would bring after normalisation, this is the whole range of issues to be discussed and decided, and those decisions should be of a practical nature.” ShouldMatterWholeInterestDecisionIssuesSolutionsDecidedRelationBottomPracticalsRangeRelatedJapanAgendasFederation Author:Vladimir Putin
“Man is a thinking being. The way he thinks is related to society, politics, economics, and history and is also related to very general and universal categories and formal structures.

“Educational exchange can turn nations into people, contributing as no other form of communication can to the humanizing of international relations. Man's capacity for decent behavior seems to vary directly with his perception of others as individual humans with human motives and feelings, whereas his capacity for barbarism seems related to his perception of an adversary in abstract terms, as the embodiment, that is, of some evil design or ideology.” PeopleMenHumansFeelingsSeemsFormTurnsEvilIndividualNationsTermDesignCommunicationBehaviorPerceptionCapacityRelationInternationalEducationalIdeologyRelatedMotiveAbstractDecentAdversariesVaryInternational RelationsContributingEmbodimentBarbarismPerception Of Others Author:J.

“As science is more and more subject to grave misuse as well as to use for human benefit it has also become the scientist's responsibility to become aware of the social relations and applications of his subject, and to exert his influence in such a direction as will result in the best applications of the findings in his own and related fields. Thus he must help in educating the public, in the broad sense, and this means first educating himself, not only in science but in regard to the great issues confronting mankind today.” FirstsHumansWellsMeanHelpingUseTodayScienceSocialResultsResponsibilityIssuesInfluenceSubjectsMankindFieldsBenefitsFindingsScientistRelationRegardGravesRelatedBroadsApplicationConfrontingMisuseSocial Relations Author:Hermann Joseph Muller
“No design can exist in isolation. It is always related, sometimes in very complex ways, to an entire constellation of influencing situations and attitudes.
