Ludwig Buchner Quotes:
Ocupation: Philosopher
Life: March 29, 1824 - May 1, 1899
Birthday: March 29
Death: May 1
The useless search of philosophers for a cause of the universe is a regressus in infinitum (a stepping backwards into the infinite) and resembles climbing up an endless ladder, the recurring question as to the cause of the cause rendering the attainment of a final goal impossible.
