"It has generally been assumed that of two opposing systems of philosophy, e.g., realism and idealism, one only can be true and one must be false; and so philosophers have been hopelessly divided on the question, which is the true one."
Systems
"The picture which the philosopher draws of the world is surely not one in which every stroke is necessitated by pure logic."
Philosophy
"To be sure, the vast majority of people who are untrained can accept the results of science only on authority."
Science
"If religion cannot restrain evil, it cannot claim effective power for good."
Power
"The method of exposition which philosophers have adopted leads many to suppose that they are simply inquiries, that they have no interest in the conclusions at which they arrive, and that their primary concern is to follow their premises to their logical conclusions."
Concern
"Lastly, literature and philosophy both allow past idols to be resurrected with a frequency which would be truly distressing to a sober scientist."
Literature
"Liberalism is an attitude rather than a set of dogmas - an attitude that insists upon questioning all plausible and self-evident propositions, seeking not to reject them but to find out what evidence there is to support them rather than their possible alternatives."
Attitude
"Conservatism clings to what has been established, fearing that, once we begin to question the beliefs that we have inherited, all the values of life will be destroyed."
Life
"Law is a formless mass of isolated decisions."
Decision-Making
"Again, both literature and philosophy work by appealing to certain reigning idols."
