Corliss Lamont Quotes

Intuition does not in itself amount to knowledge, yet cannot be disregarded by philosophers and psychologists Picture Quote #1
God, once imagined to be an omnipresent force throughout the whole world of nature and man. has been increasingly tending to seem omniabsent. Everywhere, intelligent and educated people rely more and more on purely secular and scientific techniques for the solution of their problems. As science advances, belief in divine miracles and the efficacy of prayer becomes fainter and fainter Picture Quote #1
The wise man looks at death with honesty, dignity and calm, recognizing that the tragedy it brings is inherent in the great gift of life Picture Quote #1
The intuition of free will gives us the truth Picture Quote #1
The highest ethical duty is often to discard the outmoded ethics of the past Picture Quote #1
I believe firmly that in making ethical decisions, man has the prerogative of true freedom of choice Picture Quote #1

Human beings and their actions constitute the advancing front, the surging crest of an ongoing movement that never stops Picture Quote #1
Most men, I am convinced, have an unmistakable feeling at the final moment of significant choice that they are making a free decision, that they can really decide which one of two or more roads to follow Picture Quote #1
The act of willing this or that, of choosing among various courses of conduct, is central in the realm of ethics Picture Quote #1
The dynamic, creative present, however conditioned and restricted by the effects of prior presents, possesses genuine initiative Picture Quote #1
Humanism involves far more than the negation of supernaturalism. It requires an affirmative philosophy... translated into a life devoted to one’s own improvement and the service of all mankind Picture Quote #1
I think... that philosophy has the duty of pointing out the falsity of outworn religious ideas, however estimable they may be as a form of art. We cannot act as if all religion were poetry while the greater part of it still functions in its ancient guise of illicit science and backward morals Picture Quote #1

Feelings of right and wrong that at first have their locus within the family gradually develop into a pattern for the tribe or city, then spread to the much larger unit of the nation, and finally from the nation to mankind as a whole Picture Quote #1
Overemphasis on the sex aspect of morality has led to a neglect of its other aspects and a narrowing of its range Picture Quote #1
