“They elevate thoughtlessness into a principle.”

wild book, I highly recommend this

“The good which consists in the overcoming of evil is greater than that which consists in the absence of evil.”

In these last few chapters, Kaufmann’s distinct examinations of theology and religion show how the two are, in practice, often separate from one another and subject to different points of criticism. This continues to be an excellent and thought-provoking philosophical work.

Kaufmann makes some very interesting, thoughtful points in this examination of philosophy, religion, theology, rationality, faith, reason, and thinking in general. While I do not agree with all of his points, this book does precisely what it is intended to do: force the reader consider their own assumptions and processes of thinking and evaluate them deeply and honestly. I am very excited to continue reading.

“Modesty is so much easier that honesty because it is compatible with sloth.”
