Hegel's ... deepest objections to the view of knowledge as method and power, as "controlling knowledge” (Scheler, Tillich) or "the logic of domination” (Marcuse), are moral. He agrees with Schiller that "utility is the great idol of the times.”. (Merold Westphal)
The message I hope to have sent is just the example of being yourself. I tell this to my students: It's not about copying me or my logic systems. It's about allowing yourself to be yourself. View quote
Frank Gehry
Much of my work in this period was concerned with exploring the logic of economic models, but also with attempting to reconcile the models with everyday observation. View quote
Joseph Stiglitz
Logic tends to reduce everything to identities and genera, to each representation having no more than one self-same content in whatever place, time or relation it may occur to us. And there is nothing that remains for two successive moments of its existence. View quote
Miguel de Unamuno
This is probably the fundamental dimension of 'ideology': ideology is not simply a 'false consciousness', an illusory representation of reality, it is rather this reality itself which is already to be conceived as 'ideological' - 'ideological' is a social reality whose very existence implies the non-knowledge of its participants as to its essence -that is, the social effectivity, the very reproduction of which implies that the individuals 'do not know what they are doing'. 'Ideological is not the false consciousness of a (social) being but this being itself in so far as it is supported by "false consciousness"'. Thus we have finally reached the dimension of the symptom, because one of its possible definitions would also be 'a formation whose very consistency implies a certain non-knowledge on the part of the subject': the subject can 'enjoy his symptom' only in so far as its logic escapes him - the measure of the success of its interpretation is precisely its dissolution.

Logic never attracts men to the point of carrying them away. View quote
Alexis Carrel
Every work of science great enough to be well remembered for a few generations affords some exemplification of the defective state of the art of reasoning of the time when it was written; and each chief step in science has been a lesson in logic. View quote
Charles Sanders Peirce
But you will mark the limitation of my approval of Ockham's razor. It is a sound maxim of scientific procedure. If the question be what one ought to believe, the logic of the situation must take other factors into account. View quote
Charles Sanders Peirce
A system is a set of objects comprising all that stands to one another in a group of connected relations. Induction according to ordinary logic rises from the contemplation of a sample of a class to that of a whole class; but according to the logic of relatives it rises from the comtemplation of a fragment of a system to the envisagement of the complete system.

Charles Sanders Peirce
Three conceptions are perpetually turning up at every point in every theory of logic, and in the most rounded systems they occur in connection with one another. View quote
Charles Sanders Peirce
Few persons care to study logic, because everybody conceives himself to be proficient enough in the art of reasoning already. (Charles Sanders Peirce)
Their avowedly undefinable position, if it be not capable of logical characterisation, seems to me to be characterised by an angry hatred of strict logic, and even some disposition to rate any exact thought which interferes with their doctrines as all humbug. View quote
Charles Sanders Peirce
A certain maxim of Logic which I have called Pragmatism has recommended itself to me for diverse reasons and on sundry considerations. Having taken it as my guide for most of my thought, I find that as the years of my knowledge of it lengthen, my sense of the importance of it presses upon me more and more. View quote
Charles Sanders Peirce
They probably share those current notions of logic which recognise no other Arguments than Argumentations. View quote
Charles Sanders Peirce
A year here and he still dreamed of cyberspace, hope fading nightly. All the speed he took, all the turns he'd taken and the corners he'd cut in Night City, and he'd still see the matrix in his sleep, bright lattices of logic unfolding across that colorless void... View quote

William Gibson
For me science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects. View quote
Gene Roddenberry
The American Constitution, one of the few modern political documents drawn up by men who were forced by the sternest circumstances to think out what they really had to face, instead of chopping logic in a university classroom. View quote
George Bernard Shaw
What I like about the jokes, to me it's a lot of logic, no matter how crazy they are. It has to make absolute sense, or it won't be funny. View quote
Steven Wright
It isn't often that the logic behind a policy is so clear. But when it comes to the value of educating girls, the evidence speaks for itself. View quote
Queen Rania of Jordan
You can no more bridle passions with logic than you can justify them in the law courts. Passions are facts and not dogmas. (Alexander Herzen)
Socialism and rationalism are to this day the touchstones of humanity, the rocks which lie in the course of revolution and science. Groups of swimmers, driven by reflection or the waves of circumstance against these rocks, break up at once into two camps, which, under different disguises, remain the same throughout all history, and may be distinguished either in a great political party or in a group of a dozen young men. One represents logic; the other, history: one stands for dialectics; the other for evolution. Truth is the main object of the former, and feasibility of the latter. View quote
Alexander Herzen
The logic is often far-fetched - how does medical marijuana affect interstate commerce? - and some conservatives would like judges to start throwing out federal laws wholesale on commerce clause grounds. The court once again said no thanks. View quote
Michael Kinsley
In today's computer science curricula ... almost all their time is devoted to formal classification of syntactic language types, defeatist unsolvability theories, folklore about systems programming, and generally trivial fragments of "optimization of logic design" View quote
Marvin Minsky
I am inclined to doubt that anything very resembling formal logic could be a good model for human reasoning. View quote
