Charles Sanders Peirce Quotes About Opinions

• All the followers of science are fully persuaded that the processes of investigation, if only pushed far enough, will give one certain solution to each question to which they can be applied.... This great law is embodied in the conception of truth and reality. The opinion which is fated to be ultimately agreed to by all who investigate is what we mean by the truth, and the object represented in this opinion is the real.

El porvenir de la humanidad temblaba en la balanza, pues si la geometría de las secciones cónicas no hubiera sido ya en gran parte elaborada, y si no se hubiera mantenido la opinión de que sólo debían estudiarse las ciencias aparentemente útiles, el siglo XIX no habría tenido ninguno de los caracteres que lo distinguen del Antiguo Régimen.
