There were certain questions about the foundations of morals that advances in science all threaten to make more complicated.
Science is fun. Science is curiosity. We all have natural curiosity. Science is a process of investigating. It's posing questions and coming up with a method. It's delving in.
As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise human science is at a loss.
It seems to me that socialists today can preserve their position in academic economics merely by the pretense that the differences are entirely moral questions about which science cannot decide.
In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.
The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
It's a sad indication of where Washington has come where policy differences almost necessarily become questions of integrity. I came to Washington in the late '70s and people had the ability in the past to have intense policy differences but didn't feel the need to question the other person's character.
The respect for human rights is nowadays not so much a matter of having international standards but rather questions of compliance with those standards.
Religion survives because it answers three questions that every reflective person must ask. Who am I? Why am I here? How then shall I live?
Religion is run by thought police. 'Obey. Listen. This is what you do. Don't ask questions. Go die for your country.' The spirituality says 'Okay you can die for your country but know what you're doing while you're doing it.'
I also like to look at the dynamic that takes place between religion and science because in a way both are asking the same questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? The methodologies are diametrically opposed but their motivation is the same the wellspring is the same in both cases.
Every president needs to deal with the permanent government of the country and the permanent government of the country is Wall Street oligarchs and corporate plutocrats and the questions becomes what is the relationship between that president and Wall Street.
I've discovered just how symbiotic the relationship is between writers directors and actors. They ask the same questions and strip down texts in exactly the same way.
Having been an educator for so many years I know that all a good teacher can do is set a context raise questions or enter into a kind of a dialogic relationship with their students.
Everyone asks me about being so worried or thinking about existence as if I'm the only person who can't understand why a tree grows the way it does or why a person is in power when they're not that great. These are questions everyone has.
Black power can be clearly defined for those who do not attach the fears of white America to their questions about it.
I just try to stay positive and focused on the tennis not let anything get to me like crazy questions. But I'm tough let me tell you tough as nails.
On the contrary the characteristic element of the present situation is that economic questions have finally and irrevocably invaded the domain of public life and politics.
Please don't ask me any questions about the politics of 30 years ago.
Music is more emotional than prose more revolutionary than poetry. I'm not saying I've got the answers just a of questions that I don't hear other artists asking.
Poetry is a succession of questions which the poet constantly poses.
Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions they pass no criticisms.
I believe that in the end the abolition of war the maintenance of world peace the adjustment of international questions by pacific means will come through the force of public opinion which controls nations and peoples.
Peace congresses often start by dealing with some of the less important questions in excessive detail so at the end there is no time to discuss the most important problems.
In the old days... it was a basic cardinal fact that producers didn't have opinions. When I was producing natural history programmes I didn't use them as vehicles for my own opinion. They were factual programmes.
