Ron Kulp quoted: "The experiences of eminent thinkers have taught us that there is no benefit in ideas that, divorced from reality, are useless like foam floating on water or suspended in the air; after such thinkers have expended the necessary effort and become certain of the usefulness of their experiences, they transform them into practical systems of life and tangible concepts, so that they may reach their desired goals. There is no good in knowledge that does not gather people around it and does not offer a concrete, realistic life model. When this is not the case, ideas are elitist, drawing only a limited group, or they are merely playthings." Prof. Dr. 'IRFAN 'ABD AL-HAMID FATTAH
dmb says: Thanks Ron. I think this is consistent with the MOQ in all sorts of ways. The pragmatic notion that metaphysics is good only if it helps to improve life, the rejection of jargon, the emphsis on philosophy over philosophology, the way its radical empiricism equates and limits reality to that which is known in experience, the anti-theistic and anti-Hegalian sentiments, etc., etc.. _________________________________________________________________ The average US Credit Score is 675.
