Liberalism Regards Life As An Adventure In

Let Philosophy Resolutely Aim To Be As Scientific As Possible, But Let Her Not Forget Her Strong Kinship With Literature.

The Picture Which The Philosopher Draws Of The World Is Surely Not One In Which Every Stroke Is Necessitated By Pure Logic.

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.

Liberalism Regards Life As An Adventure In Which We Must Take Risks In New Situation, In Which There Is No Guarantee That The New Will Always Be The Good Or The True, In Which Progress Is A Precarious Achievement Rather Than Inevitability.

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.
