 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |
The three attitudes most prevalent in people's philosophy are the practical, the mystical, and the scientific. Each is insufficient as covering the whole of life; each becomes fallacious when it tries to extend beyond its proper sphere. The practical attitude asks: "What shall I do?" The mystical attitude asks: "What shall I feel?" The scientific attitude asks: "What shall I believe, or what can I know?"
