The only part of the conduct of any one for which he is amenable to society is that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself his independence is of right absolute. Over himself over his own body and mind the individual is sovereign.

In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality while the living person is dependent and has no individuality.

All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.

And finally no matter how good the science gets there are problems that inevitably depend on judgement on art on a feel for financial markets.

The virtues of science are skepticism and independence of thought.

A permanent base on Mars would have a number of advantages beyond being a bonanza for planetary science and geology. If as some evidence suggests exotic micro-organisms have arisen independently of terrestrial life studying them could revolutionise biology medicine and biotechnology.

It is not so for art in appreciation because art is concerned with human behavior. And science is concerned with the behavior of metal or energy. It depends on what the fashion is. Now today it's energy. It's the same soul behind it. The same soul you see.

We know from science that nothing in the universe exists as an isolated or independent entity.

Traditional science assumes for the most part that an objective observer independent reality exists the universe stars galaxies sun moon and earth would still be there if no one was looking.

We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.
