We do not learn by inference and deduction and the application of mathematics to philosophy, but by direct intercourse and sympathy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Logic teaches rules for presentation, not thinking.
You know, I've taught philosophy for years and one argues in the hypothetical all the time.
The true function of philosophy is to educate us in the principles of reasoning and not to put an end to further reasoning by the introduction of fixed conclusions.
Logic and mathematics are nothing but specialised linguistic structures.
The two operations of our understanding, intuition and deduction, on which alone we have said we must rely in the acquisition of knowledge.
Mathematicians do not study objects, but relations between objects.
There is only one thing a philosopher can be relied upon to do, and that is to contradict other philosophers.
You should carefully study the Art of Reasoning, as it is what most people are very deficient in, and I know few things more disagreeable than to argue, or even converse with a man who has no idea of inductive and deductive philosophy.
The object of studying philosophy is to know one's own mind, not other people's.
You can't do without philosophy, since everything has its hidden meaning which we must know.
