Axiomize

1974, Metcalf, "General Discussion: Significance of the Sleep Parameters in Early Behavioral Development", in Basic Sleep Mechanisms, edited by Olga Petre-Quadens and John D. Schlag, Academic Press, page 405. We have elected to axiomize these from the viewpoint of EEG development.

Scholarly populism leads logically enough to inverting the traditional focus on production over use: even outside of textual studies, a historian of technology can axiomize that "the majority have always been mainly concerned with the operation and maintenance of things and processes; with the uses of things, not their invention or development" (Edgerton xv).

Again, as argued in chapter 2 and throughout this book, Badiou is forced to axiomize, freeze, and distort Deleuze's thought in order to contrast it with his own, truer philosophy.
