It's better to understand the mind than create a philosophy with it.

What's New

***

Knowledge Holders

Human knowing is now devoted to analytical reductionism, or the process of reducing everything to the individual human being, to human processes, to humankind in the lowest, most rudimentary or material sense.

Adi Da Samraj, 2006

***

Society is in our day the prey of a deadly disease, of a moral canker, which threatens it with destruction. This disease is materialism.

Louis Figuier, 1872

***

"O my friend, why do you who are a citizen of the great and mighty and sophospolis (city) care so much about laying up the greatest amount of money and honor [tīmē] and reputation, and so little about sophiā and truth [alēthēs] and the greatest improvement of the soul [psūkhē].

Plato, The Apology of Socrates

***

Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell - Authors of Principia Mathematica, the landmark work in formal logic - showing how the truths of mathematics could be derived from logic - first published in three volumes in 1910, 1912 and 1913.

"When we consider what religion is for mankind, and what science is, it is no exaggeration to say that the future course of history depends upon the decision of this generation as to the relations between them."

Alfred North Whitehead, 1925

"We are perhaps living in the last age of man, and, if so, it is to science that we will owe its extinction."

Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society - 1951

***

Science as Religion

Faith: Firm belief in something for which there is no proof - and there is no final proof in either science or religion.

***

I have faith; not perhaps in the old dogmas, but in the new ones; faith in human nature; faith in science; faith in the survival of the fittest. Let us be true to our time, Mrs. Lee!

Henry Adams, Democracy: An American Novel

As science and the philosophy of materialism progressively exclude all other forms of knowing, human beings are becoming more and more dominated by scientific and political materialism - Beezone

“We will have to do better than nature, and that’s scary” - James Franck Professor of Chemistry, University of Chicago. Artificial Photosynthesis

"Spirits that I've cited / My commands ignore"

The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, 1797
