Inertia Is The First Law

Liberalism Regards Life As An Adventure In Which We Must Take Risks In New Situation, In Which There Is No Guarantee That The New Will Always Be The Good Or The True, In Which Progress Is A Precarious Achievement Rather Than Inevitability.

It Has Generally Been Assumed That Of Two Opposing Systems Of Philosophy, E.g., Realism And Idealism, One Only Can Be True And One Must Be False; And So Philosophers Have Been Hopelessly Divided On The Question, Which Is The True One.

Liberalism Is An Attitude Rather Than A Set Of Dogmas - An Attitude That Insists Upon Questioning All Plausible And Self-evident Propositions, Seeking Not To Reject Them But To Find Out What Evidence There Is To Support Them Rather Than Their Possible Alternatives.

Again, Both Literature And Philosophy Work By Appealing To Certain Reigning Idols.

The Method Of Exposition Which Philosophers Have Adopted Leads Many To Suppose That They Are Simply Inquiries, That They Have No Interest In The Conclusions At Which They Arrive, And That Their Primary Concern Is To Follow Their Premises To Their Logical Conclusions.
