“The basic drive behind real philosophy is curiosity about the world, not interest in the writings of philosophers. Each of us emerges from the preconsciousness of babyhood and simply finds himself here, in it, in the world. That experience alone astonishes some people. What is all this - what is the world?

This is what is really meant by any such phrase as 'mankind's need for metaphysics.'” PeopleWorldNeedsWritingHas BeensRealPhilosophyHumanityAsksFeltInterestAnswersBehindsMankindCuriosityPhilosopherPhrasesMetaphysicsCravingCompulsionReally MeanBabyhood Author:Bryan Magee

“Either [Jesus] was what he said he was or he was the world's greatest liar. It is impossible for me to believe a liar or charlatan could have had the effect on mankind that he has had for 2000 years. We could ask, would even the greatest of liars carry his lie through the crucifixion, when a simple confession would have saved him? ...
