Let's go back to one of the true giants of Western thought, Aristotle (384-322 BC) for today's quotation. It kind of goes along with the recent review I posted of Charles Pierce's book
Idiot America:
"...the states of virtue by which the soul possessestruth by way of affirmation or denial are five in number, i.e., art, scientific knowledge, practical wisdom, philosophical wisdom, intuitive reason; we do not include judgment and opinionbecause in these we may be mistaken."
Dr John,
ReplyDeleteI like the way he lists "art" first. =)
