  • 42 Science

       It is a common notion, or at least it is implied in many common modes of speech, that the thoughts, feelings, and actions of sentient beings are not a subject of science.... This notion seems to involve some confusion of ideas, which it is necessary to begin by clearing up. Any facts are fitted, in themselves, to be a subject of science, which follow one another according to constant laws; although those laws may not have been discovered, nor even to be discoverable by our existing resources. (Mill, 1900, B. VI, Chap. 3, Sec. 1)
       One class of natural philosophers has always a tendency to combine the phenomena and to discover their analogies; another class, on the contrary, employs all its efforts in showing the disparities of things. Both tendencies are necessary for the perfection of science, the one for its progress, the other for its correctness. The philosophers of the first of these classes are guided by the sense of unity throughout nature; the philosophers of the second have their minds more directed towards the certainty of our knowledge. The one are absorbed in search of principles, and neglect often the peculiarities, and not seldom the strictness of demonstration; the other consider the science only as the investigation of facts, but in their laudable zeal they often lose sight of the harmony of the whole, which is the character of truth. Those who look for the stamp of divinity on every thing around them, consider the opposite pursuits as ignoble and even as irreligious; while those who are engaged in the search after truth, look upon the other as unphilosophical enthusiasts, and perhaps as phantastical contemners of truth.... This conflict of opinions keeps science alive, and promotes it by an oscillatory progress. (Oersted, 1920, p. 352)
       Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone. (Einstein & Infeld, 1938, p. 27)
       A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. (Planck, 1949, pp. 33-34)
       [Original quotation: "Eine neue wissenschaftliche Wahrheit pflegt sich nicht in der Weise durchzusetzen, dass ihre Gegner ueberzeugt werden und sich as belehrt erklaeren, sondern vielmehr dadurch, dass die Gegner allmaehlich aussterben und dass die heranwachsende Generation von vornherein mit der Wahrheit vertraut gemacht ist." (Planck, 1990, p. 15)]
       I had always looked upon the search for the absolute as the noblest and most worth while task of science. (Planck, 1949, p. 46)
       If you cannot-in the long run-tell everyone what you have been doing, your doing has been worthless. (SchroЁdinger, 1951, pp. 7-8)
       Even for the physicist the description in plain language will be a criterion of the degree of understanding that has been reached. (Heisenberg, 1958, p. 168)
       The old scientific ideal of episteґmeґ-of absolutely certain, demonstrable knowledge-has proved to be an idol. The demand for scientific objectivity makes it inevitable that every scientific statement must remain tentative forever. It may indeed be corroborated, but every corroboration is relative to other statements which, again, are tentative. Only in our subjective experiences of conviction, in our subjective faith, can we be "absolutely certain." (Popper, 1959, p. 280)
       The layman, taught to revere scientists for their absolute respect for the observed facts, and for the judiciously detached and purely provisional manner in which they hold scientific theories (always ready to abandon a theory at the sight of any contradictory evidence) might well have thought that, at Miller's announcement of this overwhelming evidence of a "positive effect" [indicating that the speed of light is not independent from the motion of the observer, as Einstein's theory of relativity demands] in his presidential address to the American Physical Society on December 29th, 1925, his audience would have instantly abandoned the theory of relativity. Or, at the very least, that scientists-wont to look down from the pinnacle of their intellectual humility upon the rest of dogmatic mankind-might suspend judgment in this matter until Miller's results could be accounted for without impairing the theory of relativity. But no: by that time they had so well closed their minds to any suggestion which threatened the new rationality achieved by Einstein's world-picture, that it was almost impossible for them to think again in different terms. Little attention was paid to the experiments, the evidence being set aside in the hope that it would one day turn out to be wrong. (Polanyi, 1958, pp. 12-13)
       The practice of normal science depends on the ability, acquired from examplars, to group objects and situations into similarity sets which are primitive in the sense that the grouping is done without an answer to the question, "Similar with respect to what?" (Kuhn, 1970, p. 200)
       Science in general... does not consist in collecting what we already know and arranging it in this or that kind of pattern. It consists in fastening upon something we do not know, and trying to discover it. (Collingwood, 1972, p. 9)
       Scientific fields emerge as the concerns of scientists congeal around various phenomena. Sciences are not defined, they are recognized. (Newell, 1973a, p. 1)
       This is often the way it is in physics-our mistake is not that we take our theories too seriously, but that we do not take them seriously enough. I do not think it is possible really to understand the successes of science without understanding how hard it is-how easy it is to be led astray, how difficult it is to know at any time what is the next thing to be done. (Weinberg, 1977, p. 49)
       Science is wonderful at destroying metaphysical answers, but incapable of providing substitute ones. Science takes away foundations without providing a replacement. Whether we want to be there or not, science has put us in a position of having to live without foundations. It was shocking when Nietzsche said this, but today it is commonplace; our historical position-and no end to it is in sight-is that of having to philosophize without "foundations." (Putnam, 1987, p. 29)

  • 44 Self

       There are some philosophers who imagine we are every moment intimately conscious of what we call our SELF; that we feel its existence and its continuance in existence; and are certain, beyond the evidence of a demonstration, both of its perfect identity and simplicity....
       For my part, when I enter most intimately into what I call myself, I always stumble on some particular perception or other, of heat or cold, light or shade, love or hatred, pain or pleasure. I never can catch myself at any time without a perception, and never can observe anything but the perception....
       [S]etting aside some metaphysicians... I may venture to affirm, of the rest of mankind, that they are nothing but a bundle or collection of different perceptions, which succeed each other with an inconceivable rapidity, and are in a perpetual flux and movement. Our eyes cannot turn in their sockets without varying our perceptions. Our thought is still more variable than our sight; and all our other senses and faculties contribute to this change; nor is there any single power of the soul, which remains unalterably the same, perhaps for one moment. The mind is a kind of theatre, where several perceptions successively make their appearance, pass, re-pass, glide away, and mingle in an infinite variety of postures and situations. There is properly no simplicity in it at any one time, nor identity in different, whatever natural propensity we may have to imagine that simplicity and identity. The comparison of the theatre must not mislead us. [It is merely] the successive perceptions... that constitute the mind; nor have we the most distant notion of the place where the scenes are represented, or of the materials of which it is composed. (Hume, 1978, pp. 251-256)
       To find wherein personal identity consists, we must consider what person stands for; which, I think, is a thinking intelligent being that has reason and reflection and can consider itself as itself, the same thinking thing in different times and places; which it does only by that consciousness which is inseparable from thinking and, as it seems to me, essential for it-it being impossible for anyone to perceive without perceiving that he does perceive.
       When we see, hear, smell, taste, feel, meditate, or will anything, we know that we do so. Thus it is always as to our present sensations and perceptions; and by this everyone is to himself that which he calls self, not being considered in this case whether the same self be continued in the same or different substances. For since consciousness always accompanies thinking, and it is that which makes everyone to be what he calls self, and thereby distinguishes himself from all other thinking things, in this alone consists personal identity, i.e., the sameness of a rational being. And as far as this consciousness can be extended backwards to any past action or thought, so far reaches the identity of that person. It is the same self now it was then, and it is by the same self as this present one that now reflects on it, that action was done. (Locke, 1975, Bk. II, Chap. 27, Sec. 9-10)

  • 46 content management

    E-com
    the means and methods of managing the textual and graphical content of a Web site. For large sites with thousands of pages and many interchangeable words and images, it pays to invest in a content management application system that facilitates the creation and organization of Web content. Some content management systems also offer caching (where a server stores frequently requested information) and analysis of site traffic.
         Recent years have seen a vast growth in the quantity of content produced by organizations, particularly in digital form. In 2001, it was estimated that there were over 550 billion documents on Internet, intranet, and extranet websites—making professional content management vital. Without it, it becomes almost impossible for a user to find the information they are looking for.
         However, excellent content management is expensive, and organizations need to establish a solid business case in order to justify it. The initial point for consideration is that content is not a low-level commodity that merely needs to be stored—it is a critical resource, and its value lies in it being read. So an understanding of who will read it is essential. Decisions need to be taken over what languages the material needs to be published in, and in what media (Web or e-mail, for example). The form of the content—text, audio, video—is also important, as is the sensitivity of the material and the consequent security required.
         Simply storing content is data management, but content management should have publication as its main focus, with the intention of informing or entertaining readers. There is a big difference in approach between the two.

    (lick smb.'s boots (или shoes; тж. lick the boots или shoes of smb.))
    лизать пятки кому-л., подхалимничать (отсюда to bootlick амер.; жарг. в том же значении и bootlicker подхалим, подлиза)

    You'll give up everything to him, You'll lick his shoes; and You'll never play anything but second fiddle in his life. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Villa Rubein’, ch. XIX) — Ради него ты пожертвуешь всем, будешь ему ботинки чистить, но первой скрипки в его жизни тебе никогда не играть.

    You disliked me from the first moment I came here. You've done everything you could to make the place impossible for me because I wouldn't lick your boots for you. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘The Outstation’) — Вы меня сразу невзлюбили, не успел я сюда приехать. Уж как вы старались чтобы мне стало невмоготу здесь работать, а все потому, что я не желал лизать вам пятки.

    These young fellers had no respect for the land, splashing everything they made on expensive cars, on trips abroad on luxury and liquor. When the slump came they'd be licking the bank's, boots for overdrafts as their kind had done inrtermittently fifty, twenty years before. (D. Cusack, ‘Picnic Races’, ch. 7) — Эти молодчики не уважают собственную страну; транжирят все деньги на покупку дорогих машин, на поездки за границу, на предметы роскоши и выпивку. А разразись кризис, и они начнут пресмыкаться перед управляющим банком, умолять его открыть им новый кредит. Так они поступали и пятьдесят, и двадцать лет тому назад.

  • 53 make good

    1) обосновывать, доказывать, подтверждать

    In view of its accord with the monstrous system of Indian peonage, it is impossible for the Catholic church to make good its claim that it was the Indians friend in colonial days. (W. Foster, ‘Outline Political History of the Americas’, book I, ch. VI) — Поскольку католическая церковь одобряла чудовищно жестокую систему пеоната, она никак не может обосновать свое утверждение, будто в колониальную эпоху была "другом индейцев"

    2) восполнять, возмещать, компенсировать ( потерю)

    ...he saw clearly enough that Annie's loss would never be made good. (R. Aldington, ‘All Men Are Enemies’, part II, ch. III) —...Тони прекрасно понимал, что утрата Анни невозместима.

    He could not afford to make good the damage done... (W. S. Maugham, ‘Of Human Bondage’, ch. 97) — У него не хватило бы средств привести все в прежний вид...

    3) осуществлять; выполнять ( обещание); сдержать ( слово)

    ...the last boarder made good his escape and disappeared with the rest into the wood. (R. L. Stevenson, ‘Treasure Island’, part IV, ch. XXI) —...последний из нападающих благополучно перелез через частокол и скрылся вместе со всеми в лесу.

    Conrad: "...you don't believe you will be called to make good your word." (B. Shaw, ‘Back to Methuselah’, part II) — Конрад: "...а вы не думаете, что вам придется сдержать свое слово?"

    He wondered if Gregg were ugly enough to make good his insane threat. (J. Updike, ‘The Poorhouse Fair’, ch. I) — Коннор думал о том, действительно ли Грегг такое чудовище, что может осуществить свои безумные угрозы.

    4) добиться успеха, преуспевать

    He was an awful grind, and most of us considered it unfair competition. However, he's made good, I suppose. (U. Sinclair, ‘World's End’, ch. 25) — - День и ночь Олстон корпел над книгами, и мы все считали, что это просто не по-товарищески. Однако он, как видно, выбился в люди.

    His nominees - suggested to political conferences - were so often known to make good. (Th. Dreiser, ‘The Financier’, ch. XI) — Кандидатуры, которые он выдвигал на выборах, обычно проходили с успехом.

    His father was furious with him for selling land to speculate in gold-mines. Said he had squandered a fortune to give Morris a chance of making good in the colonies; but from henceforward Morris would have to shift for himself. (K. S. Prichard, ‘The Roaring Nineties’, ch. 14) — Отец Морриса пришел в бешенство, узнав, что сын продал землю и собирается спекулировать на акциях золотодобывающих рудников. Мне стоило целого состояния, говорил он, дать Моррису возможность попытать счастья в колониях. Отныне пусть полагается только на себя. Ни одного пенни от меня он больше не получит.
