“Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.”
“What we learn from experience depends on the kind of philosophy we bring to experience.”
“You cannot go on 'explaining away' for ever: you will find that you have explained explanation itself away. You cannot go on 'seeing through' things for ever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it.”
“Nature does not teach. A true philosophy may sometimes validate an experience of nature; an experience of nature cannot validate a philosophy. Nature will not verify any theological or metaphysical proposition (or not in the manner we are now considering); she will help to show what it means.”
“We have had enough, once and for all, of Hedonism--the gloomy philosophy which says that Pleasure is the only good.”
