Citas sobre circularidad

• La belleza es la Naturaleza en su perfección; la circularidad es su principal atributo. He aquí la luna llena, la encantadora pelota de golf, las cúpulas de los espléndidos templos, la tarta de arándanos, el anillo de boda, el anillo del circo, el anillo para el camarero y la "ronda" de bebidas.

• The charge that the construction of the geologic scale involves circularity has a certain amount of validity. ...Thus, the procedure is far from ideal and the geologic ranges are constantly being revised (usually extended) as new occurrences are found.

• Overemphasis of efficiency leads to an unfortunate circularity in design: for reasons of efficiency early programming languages reflected the characteristics of the early computers, and each generation of computers reflects the needs of the programming languages of the preceding generation.

• Utility is a metaphysical concept of impregnable circularity; utility is the quality in commodities that makes individuals want to buy them, and the fact that individuals want to buy commodities shows that they have utility.

• In arriving at the relevant theory about the specifics of our faculty of vision we will presumably use our eyes to gather relevant data. Based on such data we come to know about the optic nerve, the structure of our eyes, the rods and cones, etc., so as to explain how it is that vision gives us reliable access to the shapes and colors of objects around us. In reliably arriving at that theory we thus exercise the very faculty whose reliability is explained by the theory. There is no vice in this sort of circularity.

• El paradigma tradicional de la crianza ha sido muy jerárquico, el padre sabe más y muy vertical. La crianza consciente derriba [este paradigma] y crea esta reciprocidad, esta circularidad en la que padre e hijo se sirven mutuamente y en la que, de hecho, quizá el hijo podría ser incluso más que un gurú para el padre .... enseñándole cómo necesita crecer, enseñándole a entrar en el momento presente como sólo los niños saben hacer.

• Suppose we wonder whether we should trust the deliverances of our basic epistemic competences. If those are indeed our basic competences, then in order properly to satisfy our curiosity we will inevitably rely on one or more of them. So, either we squelch our curiosity or we will have to fall into the circularity or regress to which the skeptic objects.

• The banks lobbied Washington so they could write the rules that got us into this crisis. They then lobbied Washington to get the money to bail them out. And then they are lobbying Washington to write the rules so they can get us into the next crisis. It's perfect circularity.

• la solución al racismo radica en nuestra capacidad para ver su omnipresencia, pero no para admitir su inevitabilidad. Radica en el poder colectivo e institucional para cambiar, al menos tanto como en la voluntad individual de cambiar. También radica en el imperativo moral absoluto de romper la circularidad infantil y mortal de siglos de ceguera ante el brillo resplandeciente de nuestra humanidad común y corriente.
