(Ibid., 9-10) {§1.2, §5.8} analysis is a cognitive activity and it cannot be coherently understood except by recourse to intuition.
She wasn't dead yet — she died a couple of weeks later — but mentally she was gone: she could no longer talk coherently or understand who Heather was or what she was saying.
To live well is to continue to possess the ability to converse, to read, to retain what I learn and to coherently reflect and understand.
In my experience as an executive and entrepreneur sitting on both sides of the creative/technology fence, I need to hire technologists who know how to collaborate in teams, express themselves coherently, engagingly and persuasively, understand how to take and apply constructive criticism, and how to tell a good story.
We have therefore attempted to understand these findings coherently with a historical perspective and clarify the roles of mutation and natural selection in speciation.
However, evolutionary biologists now correctly understand that the ability to coherently respond to environmental variation is itself a trait that can evolve and that genetic variation for this trait can be sorted within and among populations (Via 1984).
So I was forced to reach into myself and think of what I could say about our experience to a general audience, and try to talk coherently — in a way that untrained people could understand — about something that I cared about deeply.
Williams' point is rather that the whole business of compiling balance-sheets of the utilitarian sort is incompatible with the phenomenon of agency as we know it: "the reason why utilitarianism cannot understand integrity is that it cannot coherently describe the relations between a man's projects and his actions" (UFA: 100).
This conclusion on the need of better understanding the mechanisms is shared by recent literature surveys such as Black and Devereux (2010), Björklund and Jäntti (2009) and Piketty (2000) who coherently argue that more empirical research must be undertaken to understand the mechanisms behind educational mobility and social mobility in general.
Further, on the mounting evidences and rapid progress in revealing key molecular factors and signaling pathways regulating bone forming cells and osteoporotic conditions, a systems biology approach to coherently relating these factors with mathematical modeling would be particularly helpful to better understand and evaluate therapeutics.
