Quote by V. Y. Mudimbe

“They have founded the whole structure of their happiness on these very illusions, which ought to be combated and dissipated by the light of knowledge, and they would think they were paying too dearly for a truth which begins by robbing them of all that has value in their sight.”

“The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.”

“See you, one should not ask for outside proof — no, reason should be enough.”

“For me, it feels like the right place, and the right audience, for a real engagement with the ideas that matter most.”
