AnalPhilosopher

“[I]t is ambition enough to be employed as an under-labourer in clearing the ground a little,
and removing some of the rubbish that lies in the way to knowledge.” —John Locke, 1689

“[P]hilosophy can no more show a man what he should attach importance to
than geometry can show a man where he should stand.” —Peter Winch, 1968

Richard A. Posner on Science

[W]hat is most distinctive about science is that it epitomizes a rare and valuable human quality: the courage to risk being wrong.

(Richard A. Posner, Overcoming Law [Cambridge and London: Harvard University Press, 1995], 6-7)
