I Think You Can Have A Left

Truth [is] What Is Better For Us To Believe.

Open-mindedness Should Not Be Fostered Because, As Scripture Teaches, Truth Is Great And Will Prevail, Nor Because, As Milton Suggests, Truth Will Always Win In A Free And Open Encounter. It Should Be Fostered For Its Own Sake.

The Difference Between People And Ideas Is... Only Superficial.

As Long As We Try To Project From The Relative And Conditioned To The Absolute And Unconditioned, We Shall Keep The Pendulum Swinging Between Dogmatism And Skepticism. The Only Way To Stop This Increasingly Tiresome Pendulum Swing Is To Change Our Conception Of What Philosophy Is Good For. But That Is Not Something Which Will Be Accomplished By A Few Neat Arguments. It Will Be Accomplished, If It Ever Is, By A Long, Slow Process Of Cultural Change - That Is To Say, Of Change In Common Sense, Changes In The Intuitions Available For Being Pumped Up By Philosophical Arguments.

My Principal Motive Is The Belief That We Can Still Make Admirable Sense Of Our Lives Even If We Cease To Have... An Ambition Of Transcendence.
