ABSTRACT

Bell, R.P. The exact verbal definition of qualitative concepts is more often the province of philosophy than of physical science.

Donne, John And new Philosophy calls all in doubt, The Element of fire is quite put out; The Sun is lost, and th’ earth, and no man’s wit Can well direct him where to looke for it. And freely men confess that this world’s spent, When in the Planets and the Firmament They seeke so many new; they see that this Is crumbled out again to his Atomies.
