All REBECCA GOLDSTEIN Quotes about “Reality”

“Given cognitive vulnerabilities, it would be convenient to have an arrangement whereby reality could tell us off; and that is precisely what science is. Scientific methodology is the arrangement that allows reality to answer us back.”

“What is it precisely, that they are doing when they are doing science. Are they refining their instruments for observation or discovering new aspects of reality?”
“So dogma, doctrine, unexamined assumptions, that's what it is to be sharing that, the hippies shadow, no way of grounding it to reality. It's where we're just cut off from reality unless we can argue, we can substantiate, we can justify, we can convince each other.”
