Famous quotes containing the words popper and/or family:

    “It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.”
    —Karl Popper (1902–1994)

    “Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
