philosophic

«Defense of philosophic doubt.»
Author: Arthur James Balfour | Keywords: philosophic
«Every dogma, every philosophic or theological creed, was at its inception a statement in terms of the intellect of a certain inner experience.»
«Liberty is the possibility of doubting, the possibility of making a mistake, the possibility of searching and experimenting, the possibility of saying No to any authority--literary, artistic, philosophic, religious, social and even political.»
«Look, I really don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive, you got to flap your arms and legs, you got to jump around a lot, you got to make a lot of noise, because life is the very opposite of death. And therefore, as I see it, if you're quiet, you're not living. You've got to be noisy, or at least your thoughts should be noisy and colorful and lively.»
«Philosophy begins in wonder. And, at the end, when philosophic thought has done its best, the wonder remains.»
«Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck.»
«There is little of the true philosophic spirit in Aquinas. He does not, like the Platonic Socrates, set out to follow wherever the argument may lead.»
«Humanism . . . is not a single hypothesis or theorem, and it dwells on no new facts. It is rather a slow shifting in the philosophic perspective, making things appear as from a new centre of interest or point of sight.»
