“There is a truth in Schopenhauer’s view that philosophy is an organism, and that a book on philosophy, with a beginning and end, is a sort of contradiction. ... In philosophy matters are not simple enough for us to say ‘Let’s get a rough idea’, for we do not know the country except by knowing the connections between the roads.”

“The Study of philosophy is not that we may know what men have thought, but what the truth of things is.”

“We may say, in a broad way, that Greek philosophy down to Aristotle expresses the mentality appropriate to the City State; that Stoicism is appropriate to a cosmopolitan despotism; that stochastic philosophy is an intellectual expression of the Church as an organization; that philosophy since Descartes, or at any rate since Locke, tends to embody the prejudices of the commercial middle class; and that Marxism and Fascism are the philosophies appropriate to the modern industrial state.”

“In our country religion is not different from philosophy and religion & philosophy don’t differ from science.”

“why are we here?where do we come from?traditionally,these are questionsfor philosophy,but philosophy is dead”

“Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art; it arises in hypothesis and flows into achievement.”
