QOTD:

(Quote of the Day, 29 Oct 2002, The Philosophers' Magazine)

Scientists animated by the purpose of proving that they are purposeless constitute an interesting subject for study.
-Alfred North Whitehead, The Function of Reason

And it is the improbability of being truly purposeless that calls into question much that they do. Posted by Orrin Judd at October 29, 2002 9:59 AM
