Quotes by William P. Alston (?)

“To be sure, there is no advance guarantee that when two practices are in total or massive conflict with each other, one of them will be more firmly established than the other. But that is just an example of the general point that the human condition provides no guarantee that we will not be faced with questions we have no way to settle.”
― William P. Alston, The Reliability of Sense Perception
