To the extent that philosophical positions both confuse us and close doors to further inquiry, they are likely to be wrong.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is real confusion about what it means to be right and wrong - the difference between what spiritual beliefs are and what science is.
Sometimes a concept is baffling not because it is profound but because it is wrong.
I do work a lot on arguing that things which people assume are always wrong are not necessarily so and, indeed, can often be right.
Well, I don't like to get involved in these philosophical issues very much.
The only good reason to embrace a philosophical position is that you are convinced it is true or at least makes sense of the world better than the alternatives.
The question of who is right and who is wrong has seemed to me always too small to be worth a moment's thought, while the question of what is right and what is wrong has seemed all-important.
I think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn't wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine.
I sometimes think my earnestness is confused for stupidity, but it shouldn't be.
A philosophical problem has the form: I don't know my way about.
The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.
