Quote by Sir Edward Coke

Corporations cannot commit treason, or be outlawed or excommunicated, for they have no souls.

Corporations cannot commit treason, or be outlawed or excomm

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that corporations do not possess the same moral and legal implications as individuals. While individuals can face consequences for betraying their country (treason), engaging in illegal activities (outlawed), or being expelled from a religious institution (excommunicated), corporations do not have souls or the capacity for moral responsibility. It suggests that corporations, being entities designed for profit and efficiency, are subject to the laws and regulations established by society but cannot experience the same spiritual or ethical consequences as individuals.

All our thoughts and concepts are called up by sense-experie

All our thoughts and concepts are called up by sense-experiences and have a meaning only in reference to these sense-experiences. On the other hand, however, they are products of the spontaneous activity of our minds they are thus in no wise logical consequences of the contents of these sense-experiences. If, therefore, we wish to grasp the essence of a complex of abstract notions we must for the one part investigate the mutual relationships between the concepts and the assertions made about them for the other, we must investigate how they are related to the experiences.
