Metropolitan Quotes

Ralph Waldo Emerson

All things in nature become identical with the phenomena they present when submitted to the practices of our laboratories, whose problems no less than their apparatus express in turn the problems and interests of society as it is. This view may be compared with that of a criminologist maintaining that trustworthy knowledge of a human being can be obtained only by the well-tested and streamlined examining methods applied to a suspect in the hands of the metropolitan police.


— Max Horkheimer, describing the pragmatist view, Eclipse of Reason (1947), p. 49
