 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |
What we think good, what we should like, has no bearing whatever upon what is, which is the question for the philosophy of nature. ... The philosophy of nature must not be unduly terrestrial; for it, the earth is merely one of the smaller planets of one of the smaller stars of the Milky Way. It would be ridiculous to warp the philosophy of nature in order to bring out results that are pleasing to the tiny parasites of this insignificant planet.
