Far out on every side of us those elements are broadcast, driven by many forces; and birth and gesture and death and the springing of violets from the grave are but a few out of ten thousand resultant combinations. That clear, perpetual outline of face and limb is but an image of ours, under which we group them - a design in a web, the actual threads of which pass out beyond it. <img width="2000" height="2551" width_o="2000" height_o="2551" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/af714e59d1c0801c590eb145d00f2cc1d622067790157999ad01fe261410cd16/aa.jpg" data-mid="79093780" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/af714e59d1c0801c590eb145d00f2cc1d622067790157999ad01fe261410cd16/aa.jpg" /> 001a <img width="2000" height="2551" width_o="2000" height_o="2551" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aa45f9524f4926f4e12f565eb471f61ab0bbf6a58b40c28c87d45f87e432f450/cc.jpg" data-mid="79093781" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aa45f9524f4926f4e12f565eb471f61ab0bbf6a58b40c28c87d45f87e432f450/cc.jpg" /> 001b https://ilariaconti.me/Cosmopolis-2-Rethinking-the-Human Tue, 04 Aug 2020 14:45:11 +0000 Ilaria Conti https://ilariaconti.me/Cosmopolis-2-Rethinking-the-Human 3.

Normal science does not aim at novelties of fact or theory and, when successful, finds none. New and unsuspected phenomena are, however, repeatedly uncovered by scientific research, and radical new theories have again and again been invented by scientists. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The practice of normal science depends on the ability, acquired from exemplars, to group objects and situations into similarity sets which are primitive in the sense that the grouping is done without an answer to the question, “Similar with respect to what?” One central aspect of any revolution is, then, that some of the similarity relations change. Objects that were grouped in the same set before are grouped in different ones afterward and vice versa. Think of the sun, moon, Mars, and earth before and after Copernicus; of free fall, pendular, and planetary motion before and after Galileo; or of salts, alloys, and a sulpuhur-iron filing mix before and after Dalton. <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/81cbeaaf1cb94c3394f999c2487775d300f3de4d20b1ab9527db0c75ac1c7377/1.jpg" data-mid="79093782" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/81cbeaaf1cb94c3394f999c2487775d300f3de4d20b1ab9527db0c75ac1c7377/1.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="2786" width_o="2000" height_o="2786" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b608340a741d7a9fd2f42fb184867ca5e93f6e0f4f369ad7738587a19a6ca067/a.jpg" data-mid="79093784" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b608340a741d7a9fd2f42fb184867ca5e93f6e0f4f369ad7738587a19a6ca067/a.jpg" /> https://ilariaconti.me/Cosmopolis-1-5-Enlarged-Intelligence Tue, 04 Aug 2020 14:45:11 +0000 Ilaria Conti https://ilariaconti.me/Cosmopolis-1-5-Enlarged-Intelligence 4.
