Asked to explain how their work, supported by public funds, contributes to the public good, particle physicists often cite Wilson, or offer some variation on his non-answer answer: the search for knowledge cannot be justified on other grounds; its value, like the particles under study, is irreducible.
This confluence, the precision agenda of both, and their shared willingness to sacrifice intuitive conceptual content suggest explication constitutes the best methodology for formal epistemology and grounds its philosophical value.
Though these claims may be true, and make the case of music less puzzling by showing it shares the grounds of its value with other things, they also leave the primary puzzle largely unsolved, namely, why it is that we find the experience of abstract forms so valuable.
The Saudis apparently figure that they might as well sell as much as they can now for whatever they can get, rather than leave it in the ground and see its value wither.

Nationalisms in this wider sense can vary somewhat in their conceptions of the nation (which are often left implicit in their discourse), in the grounds for and degree of its value, and in the scope of their prescribed obligations.
Under the loading of uniaxial tensile stress applied along the c axis, d33 is increased from its ground state value by a factor of about 8, reaching 678.42 pC/N for the superlattice.
As in ref (195), we define a proton "tunneling velocity" ẋ as it appears in Bohm's interpretation of quantum mechanics, namely, by using appropriate parameters for the present model: 5.52In eq 5.52, the proton energy is approximated by its ground-state value in one of the parabolic diabatic potentials of Figure 24a, and distortions of the potential at its minimum by V12 are neglected.
Customs officials impounded Sokari Douglas Camp's sculpture, in the form of a steel bus, when it arrived at Lagos port on 8 September, on grounds of its "political value".
That is Rushkoff's Popular Net, reasserting its values from the ground up.
