Coming to understand a painting or a symphony in an unfamiliar style, to recognize the work of an artist or school, to see or hear in new ways, is as cognitive an achievement as learning to read or write or add.
Nelson Goodman

I am concerned, rather, that there should not be more things dreamt of in my philosophy than there actually are in heaven and earth.

Nelson Goodman
