A Lesson in the Practicality of Philosophy I Learned Today
#21
RE: A Lesson in the Practicality of Philosophy I Learned Today
I think the following quote aptly applies to Wooters and his ilk:

"Now how do these gentleman help themselves? They just assert that the existence of God is a matter of course. Indeed! After the ancient world, at the expense of its conscience, had performed miracles to prove it, and the modern world, at the expense of its understanding, had placed in the field ontological, cosmological, and physico-theological proofs--it is a matter of course with these gentleman. And from this self-evident God they then explain the world; this is their philosophy."
- The World As Will and Representation
He who loves God cannot endeavour that God should love him in return - Baruch Spinoza
