New Nations, and others struggling with the problems of development, will progress only -- regardless of any outside help -- if they demonstrate faith in their own destiny and use their own resources to fulfill it.

William Wimsatt and Cleanth Brooks, it seems to me, have a penetrating insight into the way in which this control is effected: `` For if we say poetry is to talk of beauty and love ( and yet not aim at exciting erotic emotion or even an emotion of Platonic esteem ) and if it is to talk of anger and murder ( and yet not aim at arousing anger and indignation ) -- then it may be that the poetic way of dealing with these emotions will not be any kind of intensification, compounding, or magnification, or any direct assault upon the affections at all.

`` They straggle at such a rate '', he told the commander-in-chief, `` that if the enemy were enterprising, they might get two from us, when we would take one of them, which makes me wish General Howe would go on, lest any incident happen to us ''.

Both knew that when trains stopped at Texan crossroads bored soldiers would sometimes enter to ask the passengers if they had any reading material to spare, even a newspaper.

But that scarcely means that he was the aloof, forbidding type of student who shared few if any activities with his fellows, the banter of the surviving prolusions providing enough evidence to deny this.

It is an ugly business and there are few, if any, wreaths for them.

Mr. Richard Preston, executive director of the New Hampshire State Planning and Development Commission, in his remarks to the Governors Conference on Industrial Development at Providence on October 8, 1960, warned against the fallacy of attempting to attract industry solely to reduce the tax rate or to underwrite municipal services such as schools when he said: `` If this is the fundamental reason for a community's interest or if this is the basic approach, success if any will be difficult to obtain ''.

After declaring, in an article last month in Frontier Magazine, that the Russian testing `` carries with it the possibility of the most tragic consequences of any action in the history of the world '', he gave this estimate of the biologic and genetic consequences if the new Soviet shots totaled 200 megatons:

`` And I am not sure that I have any cash -- any money, that is -- but if you will wait just a minute I will write you out a check if I can find my checkbook.

It concludes with blank pages which the owner is meant to use as a journal, should they endure a zombie outbreak, lending the book a stronger, if satiric, kind of realism.

Such attributes, are also termed Universals or Properties ; the nature of these, and whether they have any real existence and if so of what kind, is a long-standing issue, realism and nominalism representing opposing views.

If resemblances between individuals are asserted, conceptualism becomes moderate realism ; if they are denied, it collapses into nominalism.

This usually occurs because of if there is a perception that slavish attention to ' realism ' it will cause a game to be rejected as ' uninteresting ' or boring so the mass-market video games tend to be easier to get into, and quick to play.

The historical association of subjectivism with moral anti-realism in large part explains why the robust model of moral realism has been dominant — even if only implicitly — both in the traditional and contemporary philosophical literature on metaethics.

Magical realism "... relies upon the presentation of real, imagined or magical elements as if they were real.

They derived the CHSH inequality, which, as with John Bell's original inequality ( Bell, 1964 ), is a constraint on the statistics of " coincidences " in a Bell test experiment which is necessarily true if there exist underlying local hidden variables ( local realism ).

One of the biggest reasons that theatrical fight directors often do not aim for strict realism is that the live audience could not easily follow the ' story ' of the action if bodies and blades were moving in the ways trained fighters would move them.

Some theorists have argued that if the " consciousness-is-computation " version of computationalism and mathematical realism ( or radical mathematical Platonism ) are true then consciousnesses is computation, which in principle is platform independent, and thus admits of simulation.

The modal status problem is only problematic if one thinks of physicalism as a contingent truth ( i. e. not necessary ), because it is described in terms of modal notions ( i. e. through modal realism ).

This is true of some forms of Moral realism, which states that something can be wrong, even if every thinking person believes otherwise ( the idea of brute fact about morality ).

He adapted the libretto himself, retaining " the essential character of the play, with its many short scenes, its abrupt and sometimes brutal language, and its stark, if haunted, realism ..."

" The " magic if " allowed actors to transcend the confinements of realism by asking them what would occur " if " circumstances were different, or " if " the circumstances were to happen to them.

A potential difficulty with representational realism is that, if we only have knowledge of representations of the world, how can we know that they resemble in any significant way the objects to which they are supposed to correspond?

Hilary Putnam also developed his internal realism around the idea a belief is true if it is ideally justified in epistemic terms.

In the case of Bell test experiments, if there are sources of error ( that are not accounted for by the experimentalists ) that might be of enough importance to explain why a particular experiment gives results in favor of quantum entanglement as opposed to local realism, they are called loopholes.

Entanglement and local realism give different predicted values on S, thus the experiment ( if there are no substantial sources of error ) gives an indication to which of the two theories better corresponds to reality.

The traditional toy train layout makes little, if any, effort at realism and often makes use of unpainted plastic buildings, particularly the Plasticville brand, and other toys, making little or no effort to disguise their origin.

De Medici lived entirely in the classical world ; and yet if we read his poems we only see the man of his time, the admirer of Dante and of the old Tuscan poets, who takes inspiration from the popular muse, and who succeeds in giving to his poetry the colors of the most pronounced realism as well as of the loftiest idealism, who passes from the Platonic sonnet to the impassioned triplets of the Amori di Venere, from the grandiosity of the Salve to Nencia and to Beoni, from the Canto carnascialesco to the lauda.

Thus we require a brand of modal realism if we are to use modality at all.

All in all, it is a poetic as well as a romantic tale, notwithstanding its constant realism, and the note of poetic romance upon which it ends is a logical conclusion, though the reader will be a good guesser if he has an inkling of what that end will be before he reaches it.
