Quotes on Good Philosophy

Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.

To create a healthy philosophy you should renounce metaphysics but be a good mathematician.

The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.
