More From Thomas Hobbes

There are similarities between absolute power and absolute faith: a demand for absolute obedience, a readiness to attempt the impossible, a bias for simple solutionsto cut the knot rather than unravel it, the viewing of compromise as surrender. both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization. hence, absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.
Faith Cutting Power
Even those who have desired to work out a completely positive philosophy have been philosophers only to the extent that, at the same time, they have refused the right to install themselves in absolute knowledge. they taught not this knowledge, but its becoming in us, not the absolute but, at most, our absolute relation to it, as kierkegaard said. what makes a philosopher is the movement which leads back without ceasing from knowledge to ignorance, from ignorance to knowledge, and a kind of rest in this movement.
Philosophy Ignorance Work Out
If there is no absolute moral standard, then one cannot say in a final sense that anything is right or wrong. by absolute we mean that which always applies, that which provides a final or ultimate standard. there must be an absolute if there are to be morals, and there must be an absolute if there are to be real values. if there is no absolute beyond man's ideas, then there is no final appeal to judge between individuals and groups whose moral judgments conflict. we are merely left with conflicting opinions.

By consequence, or train of thoughts, i understand that succession of one thought to another which is called, to distinguish it from discourse in words, mental discourse. when a man thinketh on anything whatsoever, his next thought after is not altogether so casual as it seems to be. not every thought to every thought succeeds indifferently.

Education may well be, as of right, the instrument whereby every individual, in a society like our own, can gain access to any kind of discourse. but we well know that in its distribution, in what it permits and in what it prevents, it follows the well-trodden battle-lines of social conflict. every educational system is a political means of maintaining or of modifying the appropriation of discourse, with the knowledge and the powers it carries with it.

If the white man can come here uneducated and as an immigrant, and within 10 or 15 years set up an industry that provides job opportunities and educational opportunities for black people, then if the black man, the black leadership, who has access to all of this money and has all of these degrees today, can't use his talent and his know-how to set up business opportunities, job opportunities, housing opportunities for the black people the same as the white leaders have done for white people, then these black leaders need to get off the boat.

One of the sad realities of being a parent is that the same stuff you know is exciting, educational, and enriching in your child'slife is often messy, smelly and exhausting to deal with.

'as a man who knows how to make his education into a rule of life not a means of showing off; who can control himself and obey his own principles.' the true mirror of our discourse is the course of our lives.
