List,
Lest we forget. . .
1.135. Upon this first, and in one sense this sole, rule of reason, that in
order to learn you must desire to learn, and in so desiring not be
satisfied with what you already incline to think, there follows one
corollary which itself deserves to be inscribed upon every wall of the city
of philosophy:
Do not block the way of inquiry.
136. Although it is better to be methodical in our investigations, and to
consider the economics of research, yet there is no positive sin against
logic in *trying *any theory which may come into our heads, so long as it
is adopted in such a sense as to permit the investigation to go on
unimpeded and undiscouraged. On the other hand, to set up a philosophy
which barricades the road of further advance toward the truth is the one
unpardonable offence in reasoning. . .
Best,
Gary R
