Goals Quote by Lee Braver

“The goal of truth is a certain passive state: to “mirror,” or correspond to, how things already are, and not to make them a particular way. Instead of creating one’s own viewpoint, one has it prescribed from outside. (Richardson 1996, 235)” quote by Lee Braver — Download Open image
