 (Plato, Republic, 380BC ) 'And those whose hearts are fixed on REALITY itself deserve the title of Philosophers.''The society we have described can never grow into a reality or see the light of day, and there will be no end to the troubles of states, or indeed, my dear Glaucon, of humanity itself, till philosophers are kings in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political power and philosophy thus come into the same hands.' |
 (Aristotle, Metaphysics, 340BC ) 'The first philosophy (Metaphysics) is universal and is exclusively concerned with primary substance. ... And here we will have the science to study that which is just as that which is, both in its essence and in the properties which, just as a thing that is, it has. ... The entire preoccupation of the physicist is with things that contain within themselves a principle of movement and rest. And to seek for this is to seek for the second kind of principle, that from which comes the beginning of the change.' Aristotle on Metaphysics / Physics |
 (Gottfried Leibniz, 1670) 'Reality cannot be found except in One single source, because of the interconnection of all things with one another. ... I do not conceive of any reality at all as without genuine unity. ... I maintain also that substances, whether material or immaterial, cannot be conceived in their bare essence without any activity, activity being of the essence of substance in general. ... A distinction must be made between true and false ideas, and that too much rein must not be given to a man's imagination under pretext of its being a clear and distinct intellection.' Gottfried Leibniz: Philosophy Metaphysics of Monads / Monadology |
 (David Hume, 1737) 'And though the philosopher may live remote from business, the genius of PHILOSOPHY, if carefully cultivated by several, must gradually diffuse itself throughout the whole society, and bestow a similar correctness on every art and calling.''When we look about us towards external objects, and consider the operation of causes, we are never able, in a single instance, to discover any power or necessary connexion; any quality, which binds the effect to the cause, and renders the one an infallible consequence of the other. There is required a medium, which may enable the mind to draw such an inference, if indeed it be drawn by reasoning and argument. What that medium is, I must confess, passes my comprehension; and it is incumbent on those to produce it, who assert that it really exists, and is the origin of all our conclusions concerning matter of fact.' |
 (Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason, 1781) 'If we take away the subject (Humans), or even only the subjective constitution of our senses in general, then not only the nature and relations of objects in space and time, but even space and time themselves disappear; and that these, as appearances, cannot exist in themselves, but only in us. What may be the nature of objects considered as things in themselves and without reference to the receptivity of our sensibility is quite unknown to us.'Philosophy Metaphysics of Immanuel Kant - Correcting errors of Critical Idealism |
 (Bradley, 1846-1924) 'We may agree, perhaps, to understand by METAPHYSICS, an attempt to know reality as against mere appearance, or the study of first principles or ultimate truths, or again the effort to comprehend the Universe, not simply piecemeal or by fragments, but somehow as a whole.' |
 (Albert Einstein, 1954) 'The development during the present century is characterized by two theoretical systems essentially independent of each other: the Theory of Relativity and the Quantum Theory. The two systems do not directly contradict each other; but they seem little adapted to fusion into one unified theory. For the time being we have to admit that we do not possess any general theoretical basis for physics which can be regarded as its logical foundation.'

I hold it true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed.' (Albert Einstein, 1954) 'The supreme task of the physicist is to arrive at those universal elementary laws from which the cosmos can be built up by pure deduction. There is no logical path to these laws; only intuition, resting on sympathetic understanding of experience, can reach them.'

 (Francisco de Goya) 'Fantasy, abandoned by reason, produces impossible monsters; united with it, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of marvels.''When we speak of Nature it is wrong to forget that we are ourselves a part of Nature. We ought to view ourselves with the same curiosity and openness with which we study a tree, the sky or a thought, because we too are linked to the entire universe.'

 (Michel de Montaigne) 'Since philosophy is the art which teaches us how to live, and since children need to learn it as much as we do at other ages, why do we not instruct them in it? .. But in truth I know nothing about the philosophy of education except this: that the greatest and the most important difficulty known to human learning seems to lie in that area which treats how to bring up children and how to educate them.' |
