“Philosophers are not honest enough in their work, although they make a lot of virtuous noise when the problem of truthfulness is touched even remotely. They all pose as if they had discovered and reached their real opinions through the self-development of a cold, pure, divinely unconcerned dialectic...; while at bottom it is an assumption, a hunch, indeed a kind of "inspiration" most often a desire of the heart that has been filtered and made abstract that they defend with reasons they have sought after the fact.” IfsHeartKindHas BeensMadeRealSelfReasonEnoughPhilosophyFactsProblemInspirationDesireOpinionHonestColdDevelopmentPureBottomPhilosopherNoiseAbstractAssumptionTouchedVirtuousSelf DevelopmentTruthfulnessHunchesDialecticsUnconcernedNot Honest Author:Friedrich Nietzsche
“The man whom philosophy leaves cold, and the man whom real faith does not illuminate, may be assured that the fault lies in them, not in knowledge and faith. The former is still an alien to philosophy, the latter an alien to faith.” MenMayDoeStillsRealPhilosophyLyingHe ManColdFaultsFormerAliensLatterAssured Book:The Logic of Hegel Source: The Logic of Hegel
“The Cold War philosophy of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD), which prevented the former Soviet Union and the United States from using the nuclear weapons they had targeted at each other, would not apply to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Iran. For him (Ahmadinejad), Mutual Assured Destruction is not a deterrent, it is an inducement.” WarStatesPhilosophyPresidentUnitedUnited StatesColdWeaponsDestructionMadUnionsNuclearFormerIranMutualSovietNuclear WeaponsCold WarSoviet UnionAssuredDeterrent Author:Bernard Lewis
“Nothing, indeed, could be more unlike the tone of the [Patristic] Fathers, than the cold, passionless, and prudential theology of the eighteenth century; a theology which regarded Christianity as an admirable auxiliary to the police force, and a principle of decorum and of cohesion in society, but which carefully banished from it all enthusiasm, veiled or attenuated all its mysteries, and virtually reduced it to an authoritative system of moral philosophy.” PhilosophyFatherForceMoralChristianityPrinciplesMysteryAtheismCenturyColdPolicePositive AtheismTheologyEnthusiasmToneAdmirableCohesionMoral PhilosophyDecorumPolice Force Author:William Edward Hartpole Lecky
“And another thing about German symphonic development. I tell you, our cold kvass soup is a horror to the Germans, and yet we eat it with pleasure. And their cold cherry soup is a horror to us, and yet it sends a German into ecstacy. In short, symphonic development is just like German philosophy and soup-all worked out and systematized. When a German thinks, he reasons his way to a conclusion. Our Russian brother, on the other hand, starts with a conclusion and then might amuse himself with some reasoning.” ThinkingWayReasonPhilosophyHandsMightPleasureBrotherColdDevelopmentHorrorConclusionReasoningSoupCherriesGerman Philosophy Author:Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky
“First, educate yourself about what a vegan diet entails and why it is beneficial to your health. You need to understand and embrace the philosophy or you will not be able to make such a drastic dietary change. Secondly, make the change over time. Don't try and "go cold turkey"; you will shock your system and you will develop cravings that you may not be able to fight off. If you take your time and let your body adjust you will be eating a completely different diet before you realize it.” IfsNeedsTryingFirstsMayDifferentPhilosophyBodyAbleFightingRealizingColdEatingEmbraceYour BodyDietsShockVeganEducateCravingTurkeysBeneficialDrasticVegan DietTake Your TimeChanges Over TimeCold Turkey Author:Gary Player
