Yesterday I had to reread the conclusion of Book I of Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature and saw this wonderful remark on religion and philosophy:
Generally speaking, the errors in religion are dangerous; those in philosophy only ridiculous.
I certainly had read this remark before and liked it, but I didn't remember it. So when I was rereading it, it was as if I was reading it the first time and I was able to experience anew the feeling of being deeply impressed. It was a wonderful feeling.
dare ask
ReplyDeletecould it be related to the attitude to which people held toward the two? XP
Sincerely,
