Philosophy accepts the hard and hazardous task of dealing with problems not yet open to the methods of science — problems like good and evil, beauty … - Will Durant

Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art; it arises in hypothesis and flows into achievement.

"قال شوبنهور في وصف كتاب "العالم كارادة وفكرة">عندما فشلت المبيعات "ان كتابا كهذا اشبه بالمرآه, اذا نظر فيها حمار فلا ترجو ان يرى ملاكا

Our knowledge is a receding mirage in an expanding desert of ignorance.

All the problems that disturb us today—the cutting down of forests and the erosion of the soil; the emancipation of woman and the limitation of the family; the conservatism of the established, and the experimentalism of the unplaced, in morals, music, and government; the corruptions of politics and the perversions of conduct; the conflict of religion and science, and the weakening of the supernatural supports of morality; the war of the classes, the nations, and the continents; the revolutions of the poor against the economically powerful rich, and of the rich against the politically powerful poor; the struggle between democracy and dictatorship, between individualism and communism, between the East and the West—all these agitated, as if for our instruction, the brilliant and turbulent life of ancient Hellas. There is nothing in Greek civilization that does not illuminate our own.
