Text Quotes
It has been a long time since philosophers have read men’s souls. It is not their task, we are told. Perhaps. But we must not be surprised if they no longer matter much to us  (Philosophers Quotes) Should philosophers be expected to change the world? Such an expectation seems to me extravagant. Marx himself didn’t change the world: he reinterpreted it, then other people changed it  (Philosophers Quotes) Even philosophers will praise war as ennobling mankind, forgetting the Greek who said: ‘War is bad in that it begets more evil than it kills  (Philosophers Quotes) God created man in His own image, says the Bible; philosophers reverse the process: they create God in theirs  (Philosophers Quotes) I will admit, like Socrates and Aristotle and Plato and some other philosophers, that there are instances where the death penalty would seem appropriate  (Philosophers Quotes) For centuries many of the world’s distinguished philosophers have assaulted Christianity as being irrational, superstitious and absurd  (Philosophers Quotes) No matter what Aristotle and the Philosophers say, nothing is equal to tobacco; it’s the passion of the well-bred, and he who lives without tobacco lives a life not worth living  (Philosophers Quotes) St. Paul would say to the philosophers that God created man so that he would seek the Divine, try to attain the Divine. That is why all pre-Christian philosophy is theological at its summit  (Philosophers Quotes) The philosophers Camus and Sartre raise the question whether or not a man can condemn himself  (Philosophers Quotes) Philosophers don’t all believe that ethics is just based on intuition. That’s just stupid! It’s ignoramus!  (Philosophers Quotes) Many philosophers in the second half of the 20th century really seemed to think that they were laying the foundations for science by laying down the conceptual (necessary) truths  (Philosophers Quotes) When philosophers try to understand consciousness, much of what they claim is not conceptual analysis at all, though it may be shopped under that description  (Philosophers Quotes) Even philosophers who did not mind psychology, claimed the brain was irrelevant because it was the hardware, and we only need to know about the software  (Philosophers Quotes) The huge majority of philosophers seem to think that including impure properties in the range of the quantifiers of the principle would make the principle trivial. I have argued that it does not  (Philosophers Quotes) We should listen to both philosophers and scientists, because the philosophical contribution is different from the scientific contribution, and both of them are worthwhile  (Philosophers Quotes) Philosophers, especially metaphysicians, explore features of reality and of our mental life that are different from those explored by scientists  (Philosophers Quotes) I have a general moral: great philosophers may be great, but that is not a reason to follow them. Don’t be a follower. Work it out for yourself  (Philosophers Quotes) The ancient philosophers, Chinese, Hindu, Persian, and Greek, were a class than which none has been poorer in outward riches, none so rich inward  (Philosophers Quotes) I’m the best promoter in the world because I haven’t taken a day off work since I left the penitentiary, and because I have read all the great philosophers like St. Thomas Aquinine  (Philosophers Quotes) Nothing is more dangerous to reason than the flights of the imagination and nothing has been the occasion of more mistakes among philosophers  (Philosophers Quotes) It’s always amazed me how little attention philosophers, psychologists, or anyone else actually has paid to humor  (Philosophers Quotes) There is only one thing a philosopher can be relied upon to do, and that is to contradict other philosophers  (Philosophers Quotes) The neuroscience of consciousness is not going to stop in its tracks because some philosophers guesses that project cannot be productive  (Philosophers Quotes) Intuition does not in itself amount to knowledge, yet cannot be disregarded by philosophers and psychologists  (Philosophers Quotes) Philosophers are capable of almost endless enjoyment of mutual misunderstanding  (Philosophers Quotes) Posterity will one day laugh at the foolishness of modern materialistic philosophers  (Philosophers Quotes) Philosophers ought to aspire to know lots of different things and to forge useful synthetic perspectives  (Philosophers Quotes) Mathematics may be the only exception in the sciences that leaves no room for skepicism. But, if mathematical results are exact as no empirical law can ever be, philosophers have discovered that they are not absolutely novel - instead, they are tautological  (Philosophers Quotes) At times, I have been criticized by some philosophers of education, who place me in postures that they classify pejoratively as ‘revolutionary.’ But I have had the satisfaction of being invited to work in societies making progressive efforts without wavering. They were changing, and so they called on me  (Philosophers Quotes) Is it any wonder that Socrates was outraged at the accusation he took money to teach? Even then, philosophers saw clearly the inevitable direction the professionalization of teaching would take, that of pre-empting the teaching function, which, in a healthy community, belongs to everyone  (Philosophers Quotes)
