“I have always thought that clarity is a form of courtesy that the philosopher owes; moreover, this discipline of ours considers it more truly a matter of honor today than ever before to be open to all minds ... This is different from the individual sciences which increasingly [interpose] between the treasure of their discoveries and the curiosity of the profane the tremendous dragon of their closed terminology.” MindDifferentMatterTodayFormIndividualDisciplineHonorDiscoveryCuriosityPhilosopherTreasureClarityDragonsCourtesyProfaneTerminology Author:Jose Ortega y Gasset
“A high place of honor, although doubtless one to be obtained only after enduring the pangs of a prolonged crucifixion, awaits that philosophical biologist, or that philosopher sufficiently acquainted with scientific biology, who subjects the modern doctrine of evolution to a thoroughly critical analysis, with a view to detect and to estimate its metaphysical assumptions.” ViewsModernSubjectsEvolutionHonorPhilosophicalEndurePhilosopherCriticalDoctrineAnalysisAssumptionBiologyMetaphysicalCrucifixionBiologistHigh PlacesCritical Analysis Author:George Trumbull Ladd

“I guess you could say Alexander the Great was a man who completely transported me and moved me and inspired me because of his idealism, and I'd go back to the Greeks, and I always liked Homer and all the philosophers and their way of thinking and their concept of honor.
