'Generally speaking, the errors in religion are dangerous; those in philosophy only ridiculous'. - David Hume, 'A Treatise of Human Nature', 1739/40.
'Our university thinkers are not dangerous; for their thoughts bloom as peacefully in the shade of tradition 'as ever tree bore its apples'. They do not frighten;... and to all their little contemplations one can make the answer of Diogenes when a certain philosopher was praised: 'What great result has he to show, who has so long practised philosophy and yet has hurt nobody?' ...... '... the dignity of philosophy is trodden in the mire; and she seems herself to have become ridiculous or insignificant. All her true friends are bound to bear witness against this transformation, at least to show that it is merely her false servants in philosopher's clothing who are so'. 'Or better, they must prove by their own deed that the love of truth has itself awe and power'.
- Friedrich Nietzsche, 'Untimely Meditations', 1873/76.
[Frans Snyders, 'Dogs Fighting in a Wooded Clearing']:-
’There is in man a disposition to compassion as generally diffused as his other instincts. Newton had cultivated this sentiment of humanity, and he extended it to the lower animals. With Locke he was strongly convinced that God has given to them a proportion of ideas, and the same feelings, which he has to us … ’ ’In truth, without humanity, a virtue which comprehends all virtues, the name of philosopher is little deserved’.
- Voltaire, ’Éléments de la philosophie de Newton’, 1738.
[’Pythagoras advocating vegetarianism’; Figures: Peter Paul Rubens; Still Life: Frans Snyders; between 1618 and 1620]:-
