Quotes

  • The academic who lives comfortably in his professional enclave, secure in the belief that his corner of the cognitive world is the entire universe, has little need for philosophy, which he regards as a descent into idle speculation. Philosophy, for this academic, is an irritating enterprise, one that might call into question his most cherished assumptions.
  • The physical capacity to coerce others can never generate a moral obligation to obey the dictates of [government] power.
