Quotes
- “Philosophy is not a system of propositions, and not a science.”
- “Philosophy... is that activity by which the meaning of propositions is established or discovered. Philosophy elucidates propositions, science verifies them. In the latter we are concerned with the truth of statements, but in the former with what they actually mean.”
