“The conduct of a man, who studies philosophy in this careless manner, is more truly sceptical than that of any one, who feeling inhimself an inclination to it, is yet so over-whelm'd with doubts and scruples, as totally to reject it. A true sceptic will be diffident of his philosophical doubts, as well as of his philosophical conviction; and will never refuse any innocent satisfaction, which offers itself, upon account of either of them.” MenWellsPhilosophyFeelingsStudyDoubtOffersAccountsPhilosophicalSatisfactionRefuseConvictionInnocentRejectsSkepticismInclinationCarelessScruplesSceptic Book:A Treatise of Human Nature Source: A Treatise of Human Nature

“It is actually a nice question how far Descartes himself endorses the monological and metaphysically dualistic theory of mind associated with his name and his legacy in early modern philosophy. But Fichte does reject this tradition, by suggesting that an immaterial thinking substance is an incoherent notion, and a rational being whose rationality was not developed through communication with others is a transcendental impossibility.” ThinkingMindDoePhilosophyNamesNiceModernTheoryCommunicationTraditionNotionRationalLegacySubstanceRejectsRationalityImpossibilitySuggestingTranscendentalModern Philosophy Author:Allen W.
