Alfred North Whitehead citáty a výroky

„Náboženství je loajalita ke světu.“

Alfred North Whitehead kniha Religion in the Making

Religion in the Making, kap. II.

„Hledejte jednoduchost a nedůvěřujte jí.“

Alfred North Whitehead

Kontext: Cílem vědy je hledat nejjednodušší vysvětlení složitých faktů. Mýlíme se, když si myslíme, že fakta jsou jednoduchá, protože jednoduchost je cílem našeho hledání. Vedoucím heslem v životě každého přírodního filozofa by mělo být: „Hledejte jednoduchost a nedůvěřujte jí.“

„Angličané nikdy nic neruší. Dávají to k ledu.“
