Quotes by Stephen Toulmin (?)

“There is no way of cutting ourselves free of our conceptual inheritance: all we are required to do is use our experience critically and discriminatingly, refining and improving our inherited ideas, and determining more exactly the limits to their scope.”
― Stephen Toulmin, Cosmopolis: The Hidden Agenda of Modernity

“A man demonstrates his rationality, not by a commitment to fixed ideas, stereotyped procedures, or immutable concepts, but by the manner in which, and the occasions on which, he changes those ideas, procedures, and concepts.”
― Stephen Toulmin
