The history of philosophy is to a great extent that of a certain clash of human temperaments.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The history of philosophy is not, like the history of the sciences, to be studied with the intellect alone. That which is receptive in us and that which impinges upon us from history is the reality of man's being, unfolding itself in thought.
Philosophy is tested and characterised by the way in which it appropriates its history.
It is, from another angle, an attack on requiring proof in philosophy. And it's also the case, I guess, that my temperament is to like interesting, new, bold ideas, and to try and generate them.
All serious conversations gravitate towards philosophy.
History is Philosophy teaching by example.
Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language.
History provides an antidote to cynicism about the past.
I don't feel proprietorial about the problems of philosophy. History has taught us that many philosophical issues can grow up, leave home and live elsewhere.
As a universal history of philosophy, the history of philosophy must become one great unity.
History should be written as philosophy.
