“Subjective reason ... is inclined to abandon the fight with religion by setting up two different brackets, one for science and philosophy, and one for institutionalized mythology, thus recognizing both of them. For the philosophy of objective reason there is no such way out. Since it hold to the concept of objective truth, it must take a positive or a negative stand with regard to the content of established religion.” WayTwoDifferentReasonPhilosophyFightingConceptsNegativeRegardMythologySettingObjectivesSettingsAbandonRecognizingSubjectiveBracketsObjective TruthScience And Philosophy Book:Eclipse of Reason Source: Eclipse of Reason
“The United States, or the American Republic, has a mission, and is chosen of God for the realization of a great idea. It has been chosen not only to continue the work assigned to Greece and Rome, but to accomplish a greater work than was assigned to either. In art, it will prove false to its mission if it do not rival Greece; and in science and philosophy, if it do not surpass it. In the State, in law, in jurisprudence, it must continue and surpass Rome.” IfsHas BeensArtIdeasStatesPhilosophyLawPoliticsUnitedUnited StatesEconomyGreaterProveAccomplishMissionsChosenRealizationLiberalismRepublicRomeGreeceRivalsIn-lawsGreat IdeaJurisprudenceScience And PhilosophyGreece And Rome Author:Orestes Brownson
“In vain do science and philosophy pose as the arbiters of the human mind, of which they are in fact only the servants.

“In my view, The Temple of Man is the most important work of scholarship of this century. R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz finally proves the existence of the legendary 'sacred science' of the Ancients and systematically demonstrates its modus operandi. It was this great science-based upon an intimate and exact knowledge of cosmic principles-that fused art, religion, science, and philosophy into one coherent whole and sustained Ancient Egypt for three thousand years.” MenYearsArtImportantPhilosophyWholeThreeViewsExistencePrinciplesCenturyThousandProveSacredAncientIntimateTemplesCosmicThousand YearsEgyptScholarshipLegendaryAncient EgyptScience ReligionGreat ScienceImportant WorkScience And PhilosophyModus Operandi Author:John Anthony West
“In one of the most brilliant papers in the English language Hume made it clear that what we speak of as 'causality' is nothing more than the phenomenon of repetition. When we mix sulphur with saltpeter and charcoal we always get gunpowder. This is true of every event subsumed by a causal law in other words, everything which can be called scientific knowledge. "It is custom which rules ," Hume said, and in that one sentence undermined both science and philosophy .” MadeSaidPhilosophyLawSpeakLanguageClearEventsPaperSentencesBrilliantMade ItPhenomenonCustomsRepetitionPapersEnglish LanguageScientific KnowledgeCausalityOne SentenceGunpowderCharcoalHumeScience And Philosophy Author:Philip K.

“It is an odd fact of evolution that we are the only species on Earth capable of creating science and philosophy. There easily could have been another species with some scientific talent, say that of the average human ten-year-old, but not as much as adult humans have; or one that is better than us at physics but worse at biology; or one that is better than us at everything. If there were such creatures all around us, I think we would be more willing to concede that human scientific intelligence might be limited in certain respects.” IfsThinkingYearsHumansHas BeensPhilosophyFactsMightWould BeEarthCertainTalentWillingEvolutionTenCreaturesCreatingCapableAdultsSpeciesAveragePhysicsOddBiologyCould Have BeenScience And Philosophy Author:Colin McGinn
