“the oppressed were permitted once every few years to decide which particular members of the oppressing class should misrepresent them in Parliament.”
Susan Stebbing, Thinking to Some Purpose

“In other words, the citizens must be able to think relevantly, that is, to think to some purpose. Thus to think is difficult. Accordingly, it is not surprising, however saddening it may be, that many of our statesmen do not trust the citizens to think, but rely instead upon the arts of persuasion.”
Susan Stebbing, Thinking to Some Purpose

“Ability to read is not synonymous with ability to reflect on what is read.”
Susan Stebbing, Thinking to Some Purpose
