Here's a last one:
"The whole modern conception of the world is founded on the illusion that the
so-called laws of nature are the explanations of natural phenomena.
Thus people today stop at the laws of nature, treating them as something
inviolable, just as God and Fate were treated in past ages. And in fact both
are
right and both wrong: though the view of the ancients is clearer in so far as
they have a clear and acknowledged terminus, while the modern system tries to
make it look as if everything were explained."
(Wittgenstein, Ludwig, 'Tractatus Logico-Philosphophicus', 6.6.371, 6.372)
Ron:
A clear statement against dogmatism and assumptions. It is also interesting how
RMP addresses the same assertion in that the laws of nature really explain
nothing
but when associated with value, undefined value to be more specific, laws of
nature
are an ever evolving state of explanations, "the pencil is mightier than the
pen".
