"Dogmatism and scepticism are both,in a sense, absolute philosophies;
one is certain of knowing, the other of not knowing.
What philosophy should dissipate is certainty,
whether of knowledge or ignorance."

Tuesday's Philosophical Nugget
Something to consider from the mind and pen of the British philosopher Bertrand Russell:
"Dogmatism and scepticism are both,
in a sense, absolute philosophies;
one is certain of knowing, the other of not knowing.
What philosophy should dissipate is certainty,
whether of knowledge or ignorance."
"Dogmatism and scepticism are both,in a sense, absolute philosophies;
