The denial of a fixed human nature comes to saying first, that there are many different and no canonically correct expressions of these potentialities; second, that what expressions these potentialities might receive cannot be recognized in advance of historical experience; third, that these two points hold good for the future, so that there can be no Hegelian (or - more particularly for Berlin's concerns - Marxist) total realization of human possibilities (see Hegel, G.W.F. ; Ma...

  channels through which we see colours and hear sounds. The objects of one sense cannot be perceived withanother: we cannot hear colours or see sounds. But in that case, the thought that a sound and a colour are notthe same as each other, but two different things, cannot be the product of either sight or hearing. Theaetetus hasto concede that there are no organs for perceiving sameness and difference or unity and multiplicity; the mind itselfcontemplates the common terms which apply to eve...

The method was also embraced by a number of Anglican divines and members of the Reformed tradition. The impetus behind the case-method lay in the desire among theologians and philosophers to discover the moral norms embodied in divine law in the circumstances of human life, rather than finding them in antecedent absolute norms which one could then apply to a s...

If we are certain, we spontaneously reject objections as idle phantoms, however much they may be insisted on by a pertinacious opponent, or present themselves through an obsessiveimagination.I certainly should be very intolerant of such a notion as that I shall one day be Emperor of the French; I shouldthink it too absurd even to be ridiculous, and that I must be mad before I could entertain it.

However exciting this idea is, I think misses from this reasoning an idea of will, it...

• Bourdieu, Pierre

  subjectivism attributes a pivotal role to people's experiences, strategies and improvisations. Focusing on one side only, each perspective inevitably distorts reality. Subjectivist accounts tend to conceive of social life as created de novo by individuals, failing to acknowledge the internalization of societal constraints within the individual. Objectivism tends to adopt a mechanistic model of human action, and fails to recognize that social life is a practical achievement of competent in...

  Pathfinder and Sojourner also gathered engineering data for planning future Mars missions. Pathfinder entered Mars's atmosphere without first stopping in Mars orbit,an approach likely to be used by future landers, and its previously untried airbag system performed flawlessly. Sojourner needed about three months to traverse lessthan 90 m (less than 300 ft), but demonstrated that rovers can explore Mars. Engineers predict that the next generation of Mars rovers will be able to travel thousandsof k...
