“Without the withering criticism by nominalism, medieval Christian philosophy and theology would not have relinquished their claim to the role of knowledge in discovering the nature of things in light of higher principles; instead, it caused them to leave the field of battle without any defense before the onslaught of secularism, rationalism, and empiricism, which were, as a result, able to gain a remarkably easy victory.”

“The men were working in a leisurely way, stopping frequently to rest or to give their full attention to the chorus that everyone was singing. I asked Turnim-talk how long it took to complete one axe.
"Some-fella time, t'ree fella moon," he replied. "Some-fella time, six-fella moon."
If this were so, it was only because the men approached their work in such an unhurried spirit for, from what we had seen, I felt sure that if a man were prepared to work hard every day he could finish one axe in two or three weeks. But such ridiculous single-minded application to a task is largely a Western characteristic; these people worked only when they felt inclined to do so.”
