Dewey's breadth of apprehension, his steadfast loyalty and devotion to the truth, the judicial impartiality with which he examined the whole field before making up his mind, saved him from one-sided or ill-balanced conclusions.
If we leave out of consideration the two unscientific explanations of free will and divine providence, we find that two one-sided and therefore incomplete, although correct and scientific, explanations of human history have been given.
She hid her face against his shoulder, and he began stroking her hair. "Tell me, Peer" she looked up with her one-sided smile "who is right mother or father?" "Have you been trying to puzzle that out?" "Yes. But it's so hopeless so impossible to come to any sort of certainty. What do you think? Tell me what you think, Peer."
Perk, just as he promised himself, had made certain to pick up that serviceable pole with which he had dispatched the rattlesnake and this he kept poking out ahead, as if to stir up any lurking reptile that might be lying coiled in the path. His nervousness increased as they drew near the spot where the one-sided fight had taken place.

But the bargaining was one-sided; for while with Rome Christian unity never rose above an object to be kept in view, to the Greeks of the East it presented itself as the only condition on which they could claim the help which might save them from gradual extinction.

She had told Agatha much, but the latter had said little about her future plans.
On the other, the aphoristically formulated doctrine swarms with theological inconsistencies. In its further development, materialism becomes one-sided. Hobbes is the man who systematizes Baconian materialism. Knowledge based upon the senses loses its poetic bloom, and Becomes the abstract experience of the mathematician.
