Ian Hacking Zitate

The word 'revolution' first brings to mind violent upheavals in the state, but ideas of revolution in science, and of political revolution, are almost coeval. The word once meant only a revolving, a circular return to an origin, as when we speak of revolutions per minute or the revolution of the planets about the sun.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Das Wort "Revolution" erinnert zunächst an gewalttätige Umbrüche im Staat, aber Revolutionsideen in der Wissenschaft und politische Revolution sind fast gleichberechtigt. Das Wort bedeutete einst nur eine Umdrehung, eine kreisförmige Rückkehr zu einem Ursprung, als wenn wir von Umdrehungen pro Minute oder der Umdrehung der Planeten um die Sonne sprechen.

Our country, like every modern state, needs profound democratic reforms. It needs political and ideological pluralism, a mixed economy and protection of human rights and the opening up of society.

There are those who maintain that in this world women have no right to interfere in the affairs of state, in politics, in plots and counter-plots. Others that are who, more chivalrous, are willing to admit that women have as much right to act, think, and speak as men.

The death of a language. The word has the same kind of reluctant resonance as it has when we talk about the death of a person. And indeed, that's how it should be. For that's how it is. A language dies only when the last person who speaks it dies.

David Crystal

We discount the physical, when, in fact, much of life is physical. People's personalities are partly formed by, or in response to, how they take up space; the physical mask has some relation, howsoever obscure, to the mental work happening underneath.
