Most influential of all is the philosopher Stanley Cavell, and a younger generation of philosophers who have attempted to follow his pioneering work in thinking about literature philosophically.
Philip Kitcher
Image
St. Paul would say to the philosophers that God created man so that he would seek the Divine, try to attain the Divine. That is why all pre-Christian philosophy is theological at its summit.
Hans Urs von Balthasar
Image
Man, some modern philosophers tell us, is alienated from his world: he is a stranger and afraid in a world he never made. Perhaps he is yet so are animals, and even plants. They too were born, long ago, into a physico-chemical world, a world they never made.
Karl Popper
Image
The philosopher creates, he doesn't reflect.
Gilles Deleuze

This does not mean that you are warmongers. On the contrary, the soldier above all other people prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war. But always in our ears ring the ominous words of Plato, that wisest of all philosophers: Only the dead have seen the end of war.
Douglas MacArthur
Image
To become learned, each day add something. To become enlightened, each day drop something
Laozi

Our actions are like ships which we may watch set out to sea, and not know when or with what cargo they will return to port.
Iris Murdoch

The teacher who allows his scholars the freedom of the city of books is at liberty to be their guide, philosopher and friend and is no longer the mere instrument of forcible intellectual feeding.
Charlotte Mason
Image
I was a poet animated by philosophy, not a philosopher with poetic faculties.
Fernando Pessoa

The myth that John Locke was the philosopher behind the American Republic, is easily refuted by examining how Locke's philosophy steered Thomas Jefferson, for example.
Robert Trout
Image
The revealed and mystic literature of mankind bears ample testimony to the fact that religious experience has been too enduring and dominant in the history of mankind to be rejected as mere illusion. There seems to be no reason, then, to accept the normal level of human experience as fact and reject its other levels as mystical and emotional.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
The man who enters his wife's dressing room is either a philosopher or a fool.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Herbert Spencer is little read now. Philosophers do not regard him as a major thinker. Social Darwinism has long been in disrepute.
Peter Singer
Image
If I had a philosophy, it's that I support the beautiful side of anarchy.
Bjork
Image
All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusions is called a philosopher.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
Children are the only brave philosophers. And brave philosophers are, inevitably, children.
Yevgeny Zamyatin

Talk about polygamy! There is no true philosopher on the face of the earth but what will admit that such a system, properly carried out according to the order of heaven, is far superior to monogamy for the raising of healthy, robust children!
Brigham Young
Image
Aristotle was the first accurate critic and truest judge nay, the greatest philosopher the world ever had for he noted the vices of all knowledges, in all creatures, and out of many men's perfections in a science he formed still one Art.
Ben Jonson
Image
All the interests of my reason, speculative as well as practical, combine in the three following questions: 1. What can I know? 2. What ought I to do? 3. What may I hope?
Immanuel Kant
Image
Historically the most striking result of Kant's labors was the rapid separation of the thinkers of his own nation and, though less completely, of the world, into two parties-the philosophers and the scientists.
Lawrence Joseph Henderson
Image
I thought of the words of the Renaissance philosopher Michel de Montaigne. If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.
Josh Lanyon
Image
I am no metaphysician, no philosopher, nay, no saint. But I am poor and I love the poor. I see what they call the poor of this country and how many there are who feel for them!
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Our civilized world is nothing but a great masquerade. You encounter knights, parsons, soldiers, doctors, lawyers, priests, philosophers and a thousand more: but they are not what they appear - they are merely masks... Usually, as I say, there is nothing but industrialists, businessmen and speculators concealed behind all these masks.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
...To the Dolphin alone, beyond all other, nature has granted what the best philosophers seek: friendship for no advantage
