“The "through-and-through" universe seems to suffocate me with its infallible impeccable all-pervasiveness. Its necessity , with no possibilities; its relations, with no subjects, make me feel as if I had entered into a contract with no reserved rights ...

“Subjects who reciprocally recognize each other as such, must consider each other as identical, insofar as they both take up the position of subject; they must at all times subsume themselves and the other under the same category. At the same time, the relation of reciprocity of recognition demands the non-identity of one and the other, both must also maintain their absolute difference, for to be a subject implies the claim of individuation.” DifferencesSubjectsIdentityPositionDemandClaimsRelationAbsolutesAll TimeRecognitionCategoriesIdenticalReciprocityIndividuation Author:Jurgen Habermas
“The effects of heat are subject to constant laws which cannot be discovered without the aid of mathematical analysis. The object of the theory is to demonstrate these laws; it reduces all physical researches on the propagation of heat, to problems of the integral calculus, whose elements are given by experiment. No subject has more extensive relations with the progress of industry and the natural sciences; for the action of heat is always present, it influences the processes of the arts, and occurs in all the phenomena of the universe.” ArtProblemActionLawUniverseGivenProcessNaturalProgressInfluenceSubjectsEffectsObjectsTheoryIndustryElementsResearchRelationConstantAidsExperimentsMathematicalAnalysisHeatCalculusNatural SciencePropagationMathematical AnalysisIntegral Calculus Author:Joseph Fourier

“In description we hear and feel the absorption of the author in the material. We sense the presence of the creator of the scene. .. This personal absorption is what we mean by 'style.'

We could, perhaps more exactly, call this relation between consciousness and its subject 'integrity.'

“So many of the properties of matter, especially when in the gaseous form, can be deduced from the hypothesis that their minute parts are in rapid motion, the velocity increasing with the temperature, that the precise nature of this motion becomes a subject of rational curiosity. Daniel Bernoulli, Herapath, Joule, Kronig, Clausius, &c., have shewn that the relations between pressure, temperature and density in a perfect gas can be explained by supposing the particles move with uniform velocity in straight lines, striking against the sides of the containing vessel and thus producing pressure.” MatterMovingFormSidesLinesPerfectMinutesSubjectsRelationPressurePropertyCuriosityRationalGasUniformsPreciseHypothesisVesselRapidsParticlesTemperatureStraight LinesContainingVelocityDensitySupposingProperties Of Matter Author:James Clerk Maxwell

“There is scarcely room for doubt that something in the psychological relation of a mother-in-law to a son-in-law breeds hostility between them and makes it hard for them to live together. But the fact that in civilized societies mothers-in-law are such a favourite subject for jokes seems to me to suggest that the emotional relation involved includes sharply contrasted components.
