## Quotes

## Quotes

* There is a conventional Catholicism that would do well to come to terms with Benedict XVI's statement in Regensburg: to act with violence is against the nature of God and the human soul. And Pope Francis always insists that to act with violence in the name of God is satanic.
** Esiste un cattolicesimo convenzionale che sarebbe opportuno facesse i conti con l'affermazione di Benedetto XVI a Ratisbona: agire con violenza è contro la natura di Dio e dell'anima umana. E Papa Francesco insiste sempre nel dire che agire con violenza in nome di Dio è satanico.
*** As quoted in Paolo Rodari, E' giusta l'obiezione dei sindaci e anche la Chiesa deve scendere in campo, la Repubblica, Rome, p. 8 (January 6, 2019)
* That of the Great Architect is a heretical idea that originated in Enlightenment modernity. It lurks in the ancient Arian heresy: Arius does not recognise the divinity of Jesus the Saviour because he sees him only as the 'Greek demiurge' who moulds formless matter. The Council of Nicaea affirms the Christian truth: Jesus is God from God, light from light, true God from true God. The Great Architect knows nothing of the Christian God who is, from eternity, pro-existence, pro-affection, Love. Incarnate presence in the life of man, it makes the believer inhabited by the Holy Spirit and the Catholic Church sacramental...The Masonic brotherhood is abysmally different from the Christian-Catholic one, because the experience of the world (affections, feelings, emotions) of a Catholic is founded on the faith of the Christian hope of the God of Jesus Christ who saves us in death: "you will never die", this is the proclamation.
** Quella del Grande Architetto è una idea eretica originatasi nella modernità illuministica. Alligna nell’antica eresia ariana: Ario non riconosce la divinità di Gesù Salvatore perché lo vede solo come il “demiurgo greco” che plasma la materia informe. Il Concilio di Nicea afferma la verità cristiana: Gesù è Dio da Dio, luce da luce, Dio vero da Dio vero. Il Grande Architetto non sa nulla del Dio cristiano che è, dall’eterno, pro-esistenza, pro-affezione, Amore. Presenza incarnata nella vita dell’uomo, rende il credente abitato dallo Spirito Santo e la Chiesa cattolica sacramentale...La fratellanza massonica è abissalmente diversa da quella cristiano-cattolica, perché l’esperienza del mondo (affetti, sentimenti, emozioni) di un cattolico è fondata sulla fede della speranza cristiana del Dio di Gesù Cristo che ci salva nella morte: “voi non morirete mai”, questo è l’annuncio.

## Quotes

* Contingency Theory is not a theory at all, in the conventional sense of theory as a well-developed set of interrelated propositions. It is more an orienting strategy or metatheory, suggesting ways in which a phenomenon ought to be conceptualized or as approach to the phenomenon ought to be explained. Drawn primarily from large-scale empirical studies, contingency theory relies on a few assumptions that have been explicitly stated, and these guide contingency research.

* If you peruse the table of contents of a textbook on organizational theory or search the web for courses in organizational sociology, you cannot help but notice how many of the key contributors to the field spent time at Stanford between 1970 and 2000, as faculty members, post-docs, or graduate students... Of the ﬁve most inﬂuential macro-organizational paradigms in play today — institutional theory, network theory, organizational culture, population ecology, and resource dependence theory (in alphabetical order) – Stanford served as an important pillar, if not the entire foundation, for all but network theory. By the 1990s, it became an important site for network theory as well.

# Counterargument

In reasoning and argument mapping, a counterargument is an objection to an objection. A counterargument can be used to rebut an objection to a premise, a main contention or a lemma. Synonyms of counterargument may include rebuttal, reply, counterstatement, counterreason, comeback and response. The attempt to rebut an argument may involve generating a counterargument or finding a counterexample.

## Quotes

* Reagan finally won the nomination by promoting "Reaganomics", an economic program based on the theory that the government could lower taxes while increasing spending and at the same time actually reduce the federal budget by sacrificing a live chicken by the light of a full moon. Bush charged that this amounted to "voo-doo economics," which got him into hot water until he explained that what he meant to say was "doo-doo economics." Satisfied, Reagan made Bush his vice-presidential nominee. The turning point in the election campaign came during the October 8 debate between Reagan and Carter, when Reagan's handlers came up with a shrewd strategy: No matter what Carter said, Reagan would respond by shaking his head in a sorrowful manner and saying: "There you go again." This was brilliant, because (a) it required the candidate to remember only four words, and (b) he delivered them so believably that everything Carter said seemed like a lie. If Carter had stated that the Earth was round, Reagan would have shaken his head, saying, "There you go again," and millions of voters would have said: "Yeah! What does Carter think we are? Stupid?

# Counterexample

A counterexample in logic, philosophy, or mathematics is a demonstration, display, or finding which establishes either: (1) an exception contrary to a proposed general rule, hypothesis, or axiom, or (2) a refutation of a proposed argument.

* Occasionally, one individual may come up with a "proof," and another with a "counterexample." Since a valid proof and counterexample cannot peacefully coexist, either the proof has some logical or mathematical flaw, or the counterexample does not faithfully represent the conditions involved, or perhaps both. This is another reason why it is so important to have good command of the underlying logic.
