Philosophy is thinking in slow motion. It breaks down, describes and assesses moves we ordinarily make at great speed.  --John Campbell, University of Berkeley

Philosophy, though unable to tell us with certainty what is the true answer to the doubts it raises...removes the somewhat arrogant dogmatism of those who have never travelled into the region of liberating doubt, and...keeps alive our sense of wonder by showing familiar things in an unfamiliar aspect. Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)
