“[Kepler] had to realize clearly that logical-mathematical theoretizing, no matter how lucid, could not guarantee truth by itself; that the most beautiful logical theory means nothing in natural science without comparison with the exactest experience. Without this philosophic attitude, his work would not have been possible.” MeanHas BeensMatterPhilosophyBeautifulScienceRealizingNaturalAttitudeTheoryPhilosophicalMathematicalGuaranteesComparisonLogicalNatural SciencePhilosophicKepler Author:Albert Einstein

“If one believes philosophers, then what we call religion is only a deliberately popularized or an instinctively artless philosophy. Poets seem to consider religion rather as a variation of poetry which by misjudging its proper beautiful game takes itself too seriously and one-sidedly. Philosophy, however, admits and recognizes that it can begin and complete itself only with religion. Poetry seeks only to strive for the infinite and despises worldly utility and culture, which are the true antitheses of religion. Eternal peace among artists is thus not far away.” IfsBelievePhilosophySeemsBeautifulPoetryArtistReligionCultureGamesPoetEternalPhilosophicalInfiniteStrivePhilosopherDespiseFar AwayWorldlyUtilityVariationAntithesisEternal Peace Author:Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

“Life's a freaking mess. In fact, I'm going to tell Sarah we need to start a new philosophical movement: messessentialism instead of existentialism: For those who revel in the essential mess that is life. Because Gram's right, there's not one truth ever, just a bunch of stories, all going on at once, in our heads, in our hearts, all getting in the way of each other. It's all a beautiful calamitous mess. It's like the day Mr. James took us into the woods and cried triumphantly, "That's it! That's it!" to the dizzying cacophony of soloing instruments trying to make music together. That is it.” WayNeedsTryingHeartFactsStoriesTogetherBeautifulMovementEssentialsPhilosophicalInstrumentsWoodsBunchMessExistentialismCriedCacophony Author:Jandy Nelson

“I feel like the Internet needs to be disarmed in some way. There needs to be a philosophical undermining of the Internet. We take it too seriously and too literally.

“J. Budziszewski is perhaps the clearest and most eloquent natural lawyer writing today. When reading his works I often find myself amazed by his insights and wondering, 'Why didn’t I think of that?' And then it dawns on me, 'That's what C. S. Lewis and G. K. Chesterton do to me as well.' The Line Through the Heart is another destination in J. Budziszewski's philosophical quest to lead his readers to the promised land of the good, the true, and the beautiful, to guide us to that place where we have always been but can't seem to find.” ThinkingWritingWellsHeartSeemsTodayBeautifulReadingNaturalLinesWonderLandReaderPhilosophicalInsightGuidesLawyerDawnDestinationQuestsAmazedEloquentNatural LawPromised Land Author:Francis J.
