Hemingway's fiction is supported by a `` moral '' backbone and in its search for ultimate meaning hints at a religious dimension.

The hero, who is himself, is represented as a pilgrim in the storied lands of the East, a sort of Faustus type, who, to quote from Professor Book again, `` even in the pleasure gardens of Sardanapalus can not cease from his painful search after the meaning of life.

This, no doubt, is part of what Gilbert Seldes implies when he says of the arts, `` They give form and meaning to life which might otherwise seem shapeless and without sense ''.

Sensibility is a vague word, covering an area of meaning rather than any precise talent, quality, or skill.

One of them is that it gives meaning and purpose to life.

The religious quest is often intense and deep, and there are students on every campus who are seriously wrestling with the most profound questions of meaning and value.

This is not to assume that his work was without merit, but the validity of his assumptions concerning the meaning of history must always be considered against this background of an unprofessional approach.

One is impressed with the dignity, clarity and beauty of this new translation into contemporary English, and there is no doubt that the meaning of the Bible is more easily understandable to the general reader in contemporary language in the frequently archaic words and phrases of the King James.

Certainly, the meaning is clearer to one who is not familiar with Biblical teachings, in the New English Bible which reads: `` Then Jesus arrived at Jordan from Galilee, and he came to John to be baptized by him.

Some of the poetic cadence of the older version certainly is lost in the newer one, but almost anyone, with a fair knowledge of the English language, can understand the meaning, without the necessity of interpretation by a Biblical scholar.

For the most part, however, the new version is contemporary and, as such, should be the means for many to attain a clearer comprehension of the meaning of those words recorded so many hundreds of years ago by the first followers of Christ.

and where it is not, it is left with no residue, and the social meaning of this is enormous.

This is done at varying speeds, ranging from the slow and fast Shifte Telli ( a musical term meaning double strings ) to the fastest, ecstatic Karshilama ( meaning greetings or welcome ).

And a witty American journalist remarked over a century ago what is even more true today, `` Many a writer seems to think he is never profound except when he can't understand his own meaning ''.

The meaning of this variation in distribution of the bronchial artery as found in the horse is not clear.

There is also the possibility, among higher religions, of experiencing consistent meaning in life and enjoying guidance and expansiveness.

in working with these patients the therapist eventually gets to do some at least private mulling over of the possible meaning of a belch, or the passage of flatus, not only because he is reduced to this for lack of anything else to analyze, but also because he learns that even these animal-like sounds constitute forms of communication in which, from time to time, quite different things are being said, long before the patient can become sufficiently aware of these, as distinct feelings and concepts, to say them in words.

The principle most likely finds its origins in similar concepts, such as Occam's razor, Leonardo da Vinci's " Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication ", Mies Van Der Rohe's " Less is more ", or Antoine de Saint Exupéry's " It seems that perfection is reached not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away ".

Thus there is no way of discerning which, if any, ethical properties exist ; by Occam's Razor, the simplest assumption is that none do.

It is named after William of Ockham of Occam's Razor fame.

This explanation is more preferred under Occam's Razor than exogenesis since it theorizes that the creation of life is a matter of probability and can occur when the correct conditions are met rather than in exogenesis that assumes it is a singular event or that Earth did not meet those conditions on its own.

" This is known as the scientific principle of parsimony or Occam's razor.

Although he is commonly known for Occam's razor, the methodological principle that bears his name, William of Ockham also produced significant works on logic, physics, and theology.

* 1285 – William of Ockham, English Franciscan to whom Occam's Razor is attributed ( approximate date ; d. 1349 )

Occam's razor ( also written as Ockham's razor, Latin lex parsimoniae ) is the law of parsimony, economy, or succinctness.

Solomonoff's inductive inference is a mathematically formalized Occam's razor: shorter computable theories have more weight when calculating the probability of the next observation, using all computable theories which perfectly describe previous observations.

In science, Occam's razor is used as a heuristic ( general guiding rule or an observation ) to guide scientists in the development of theoretical models rather than as an arbiter between published models.

In the scientific method, Occam's razor is not considered an irrefutable principle of logic or a scientific result.

Hence, Aquinas acknowledges the principle which today is known as Occam's Razor, but prefers causal explanations to other simple explanations ( cf.

Solomonoff's inductive inference is a mathematical proof of a statement akin to Occam's razor, under the assumption that the environment follows some unknown but computable probability of distribution.

It is coherent, for instance, to add the involvement of Leprechauns to any explanation, but Occam's razor would prevent such additions, unless they were necessary.

Some argue that Occam's razor is not an inference-driven model, but a heuristic maxim for choosing among other models and instead underlies induction.

Though one may claim that Occam's razor is invalid as a premise helping to regulate theories, putting this doubt into practice would mean doubting whether every step forward will result in locomotion or a nuclear explosion.

* 5. 47321 Occam's razor is, of course, not an arbitrary rule nor one justified by its practical success.

Often the razor and blades business model is applied.

The pure metal is malleable and is easily cut with a razor blade.

It may take place in a hospital, but is usually performed, without anaesthesia, by a traditional circumciser using a knife, razor, or scissors.

Hair in areas that have previously been waxed also is known to grow back finer and thinner, especially compared to hair that has been shaved with a razor.

Nominalists often argue for their view by claiming that nominalism can account for all the relevant phenomena, and therefore — by Ockham's razor or some sort of principle of simplicity — nominalism is preferable, since it posits fewer entities.

This is in accord with the analytical method which has since come to be called Ockham's razor, the principle that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible.

" But the safety razor has since become the standard and the original razor is now called a " straight ," " open ," or " cut-throat " razor.

William of Ockham ( c. 1285 – 1349 ) is remembered as an influential nominalist though his popular fame as a great logician rests chiefly on the maxim attributed to him and known as Ockham's razor.
