Reason

“All the nations of the world are made up of human beings, and of each and every human being there is one definition and one only: that they are rational.”

“There are two worlds; the world that we can measure with line and rule, and the world that we feel with our hearts and imaginations.”

“Reason is, and ought only to be, the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.”

“The sport then was to challenge assumptions.”

“Es puntualmente tanta verdad, que la vemos con nuestros ojos los que vivimos en el Pirú; harto más manifiesta por la experiencia, de lo que nos pudiera ser por cualquier razón y demostración filosófica.”

“I do think that we have to show some kind of objectivity and I'm not sure that it's happening.”

“Toda criação é intuitiva, mesmo a mais racional é intuitiva.”

“They are slow to take a salutary spiritual potion, unless it be seasoned with an intellectual flavouring.”

“Focus on the problem, don’t focus on the hype.”

“It is one big mistake and a mistake of a special kind. It is, namely, a category-mistake.”

“The kind of agreement that is possible in the special branches of physical science, is not possible in the region of general philosophy.”

“I don’t believe in these ultimate principles that must simply be affirmed or denied.”

“Practical rationality is being as one should be, being a non-defective human being in respect of those things done for reasons.”

“Consider what effects which might conceivably have practical bearings, we conceive the object of our conception to have. Then, our conception of these effects is the whole of our conception of the object.”
