Manage episode 339229739 series 2938738
“…the atlas maker’s plight: nature is full of diversity, but science cannot be.”
-Daston and Galison
“…a race of eunuchs…neither man nor woman, nor even hermaphrodite, but always and only neuters or, to speak more cultivatedly, the eternally objective.”
-Nietzsche, Untimely Meditations (1873-1876)
“What, the religions are dying out? Just behold the religion of the power of history, regard the priests of the mythology of the idea and their battered knees! Is it too much to say that all the virtues now attend on this new faith? Or is it not selflessness when the historical man lets himself be emptied until he is no more than an objective sheet of plate glass?”
-Nietzsche, Untimely Meditations (1873-1876)
“The reproduction of nature by man will never be a reproduction and imitation, but always an interpretation...since man is not a machine and is incapable of rendering objects mechanically.“
-Champfleury (aka Jules François Felix Fleury-Husson), (1821-1889)
