“Someone once said that the most important knowledge is knowledge of our own ignorance. Our schools are depriving millions of students of that kind of knowledge by promoting "self-esteem" and encouraging them to have opinions on things of which they are grossly ignorant, if not misinformed.” IfsKindSaidImportantSelfSchoolEducationOpinionMillionsSelf EsteemStudentsIgnoranceIgnorantEsteemPromotingDepriving Author:Thomas Sowell
“Roger_Bacon" title="Roger Bacon">Roger Bacon expressed a feeling which afterwards moved many minds, when he said that if he had the power he would burn all the works of the Stagirite, since the study of them was not simply loss of time, but multiplication of ignorance. Yet in spite of this outbreak every page is studded with citations from Aristotle, of whom he everywhere speaks in the highest admiration.” IfsMindSaidFeelingsSpeakLossStudyIgnoranceHighestPagesMovedSpiteAdmirationRogerMultiplicationOutbreaksCitations Author:George Henry Lewes
“Even those who have desired to work out a completely positive philosophy have been philosophers only to the extent that, at the same time, they have refused the right to install themselves in absolute knowledge. They taught not this knowledge, but its becoming in us, not the absolute but, at most, our absolute relation to it, as Kierkegaard said. What makes a philosopher is the movement which leads back without ceasing from knowledge to ignorance, from ignorance to knowledge, and a kind of rest in this movement.” KindHas BeensSaidPhilosophyMovementIgnoranceTaughtBecomingRelationAbsolutesPhilosopherWork Out Book:In Praise of Philosophy and Other Essays Source: In Praise of Philosophy and Other Essays
