Philosophy Is The Childhood Of The Intellect,

If You Want The Truth Rather Than Merely Something To Say, You Will Have A Good Deal Less To Say.

Eventually, I Believe, Current Attempts To Understand The Mind By Analogy With Man-made Computers That Can Perform Superbly Some Of The Same External Tasks As Conscious Beings Will Be Recognized As A Gigantic Waste Of Time.

If We Tried To Rely Entirely On Reason, And Pressed It Hard, Our Lives And Beliefs Would Collapse - A Form Of Madness That May Actually Occur If The Inertial Force Of Taking The World And Life For Granted Is Somehow Lost. If We Lose Our Grip On That, Reason Will Not Give It Back To Us.

Materialism Is Incomplete Even As A Theory Of The Physical World, Since The Physical World Includes Conscious Organisms Among Its Most Striking Occupants.
