La form psychique

Zitat

„Il en résulte qu’en la forme psychique coexistent deux modalités d’être contradictoires, puisque, à la fois, elle est déjà faite et qu’elle apparaît dans l’unité cohésive d’un organisme et, à la fois, elle ne peut exister que par une succession de »maintenant« qui tendent chacun à s’isoler en en-soi.“ (p. 205) #Sartre #être #maintenant #formepsychique

The Fall of Man

Zitat

„For man, by the fall, lost at once his state of innocence, and his empire over creation, both of which can be partially recovered even in this life, the first by religion and faith, the second by the arts and sciences.“ (p. 292f.) #FrancisBacon #FallofMan #religion #faith #art #science

The Reflective Intellect

Zitat

„When the reflective intellect gets at work, however, it discovers incomprehensibilities in the flowing process. Distinguishing its elements and parts, it gives them separate names, and what it thus disjoins it can not easily put together.“ (p. 94f.) #intellect #WilliamJames

Knowledge and Human Power

Zitat

„Knowledge and human power are synonymous, since the ignorance of the cause frustrates the effect; for nature is only subdued by submission, and that which in contemplative philosophy corresponds with the cause in practical science becomes the rule.“ (p. 15) #FrancisBacon #knowledge #humanpower #nature #submission
