Pagina 413 - The confusion and barrenness of psychology is not to be explained by calling it a 'young science'; its state is not comparable with that of physics for instance, in its beginnings. (Rather with that of certain branches of mathematics. Set theory.) For in psychology there are experimental methods and conceptual confusion (As in the other case conceptual confusion and methods of proof.) (1953).
Pagina 208 - The meaning of a representation can be nothing but a representation. In fact, it is nothing but the representation itself conceived as stripped of irrelevant clothing. But this clothing never can be completely stripped off; it is only changed for something more diaphanous. So there is an infinite regression here.
Pagina 412 - But metaphysics, even bad metaphysics, really rests on observations, whether consciously or not; and the only reason that this is not universally recognized is that it rests upon kinds of phenomena with which every man's experience is so saturated that he usually pays no particular attention to them.

Pagina 304 - If all things are continuous, the universe must be undergoing a continuous growth from non-existence to existence. There is no difficulty in conceiving existence as a matter of degree.

Pagina 214 - It is in this context that he writes that 'there is nothing outside the text". Yet if reading must not be content with doubling the text, it cannot legitimately transgress the text toward something other than it, toward a referent (a reality that is metaphysical, historical, psychobiographical, etc...
Pagina 90 - The scientific spirit requires a man to be at all times ready to dump his whole cartload of beliefs, the moment experience is against them.
