Nelson Goodman quotes

Nelson Goodman was an American philosopher, renowned for his work in aesthetics, philosophy of science, and logic. His influential theories, including the "new riddle of induction" and the concept of "worldmaking," have shaped modern philosophical thought. He is also remembered for questioning the nature of representation and for bridging the gap between philosophy and art. Here are 3 of his quotes:

Coming to understand a painting or a symphony in an unfamiliar style, to recognize the work of an artist or school, to see or hear in new ways, is as cognitive an achievement as learning to read or write or add.

Nelson Goodman

I am concerned, rather, that there should not be more things dreamt of in my philosophy than there are in heaven or earth.

Nelson Goodman
