(February 19, 2015 at 10:05 pm)Pyrrho Wrote: One more thing about Russell: He is a better philosopher than most (maybe everyone?) who have written such books, so he is right more often than most. But that also is a danger, as it can lead one to trust him too much, and be led astray for any mistake he may have made. I think he is right most of the time, and more often than he is often given credit for being, but I do not think he is inerrant.
"In studying a philosopher, the right attitude is neither reverence nor contempt, but first a kind of hypothetical sympathy, until it is possible to know what it feels like to believe in his theories, and only then a revival of the critical attitude, which should resemble, as far as possible, the state of mind of a person abandoning opinions which he has hitherto held. Contempt interferes with the first part of this process, and reverence with the second." - Russell, from his chapter on "Heraclitus."
