Philosophical reflection could not leave the relation of mind and spirit in the obscurity which had satisfied the needs of the naive consciousness.


Wilhelm Wundt

Well, it is in fact possible to put things behind you, Rakel. The art of dealing with ghosts is to dare to look at them long and hard until you know that is what they are. Ghosts. Lifeless, powerless ghosts.


Jo Nesbø

My mother delayed my enrollment in the Fascist scouts, the Balilla, as long as possible, firstly because she did not want me to learn how to handle weapons, but also because the meetings that were then held on Sunday mornings (before the Fascist Saturday was instituted) consisted mostly of a Mass in the scouts' chapel. When I had to be enrolled as part of my school duties, she asked that I be excused from the Mass; this was impossible for disciplinary reasons, but my mother saw to it that the chaplain and the commander were aware that I was not a Catholic and that I should not be asked to perform any external acts of devotion in church. In short, I often found myself in situations different from others, looked on as if I were some strange animal. I do not think this harmed me: one gets used to persisting in one's habits, to finding oneself isolated for good reasons, to putting up with the discomfort that this causes, to finding the right way to hold on to positions which are not shared by the majority. But above all I grew up tolerant of others' opinions, particularly in the field of religion, remembering how irksome it was to hear myself mocked because I did not follow the majority's beliefs. And at the same time I have remained totally devoid of that taste for anticlericalism which is so common in those who are educated surrounded by religion. I have insisted on setting down these memories because I see that many non-believing friends let their children have a religious education 'so as not to give them complexes', 'so that they don't feel different from the others.' I believe that this behavior displays a lack of courage which is totally damaging pedagogically. Why should a young child not begin to understand that you can face a small amount of discomfort in order to stay faithful to an idea? And in any case, who said that young people should not have complexes? Complexes arise through a natural attrition with the reality that surrounds us, and when you have complexes you try to overcome them. Life is in fact nothing but this triumphing over one's own complexes, without which the formation of a character and personality does not happen.


Italo Calvino

I have never since entirely freed myself of the impression that this life is a segment of existence which is enacted in a three-dimensional boxlike universe especially set up for it.


C.G. Jung

Listen." Jennifer reverted, "I didn't mean anything by all of that before. I understand what you were trying to do and ..." She struggled for the right words. "Sweetie, like love, people don't live inside of life, life lives inside of you. Open yourself up to it and there's no stopping your heart.


Carroll Bryant

I ... having filled my life with the spiritual blessings Christianity gave me, brimful of these blessings and living by them, I, like a child, not understanding them, destroy them -- that is, I wish to destroy that by which I live.


Leo Tolstoy

I am sitting with a philosopher in the garden; he says again and again 'I know that that’s a tree', pointing to a tree that is near us. Someone else arrives and hears this, and I tell him: 'This fellow isn’t insane. We are only doing philosophy.


Ludwig Wittgenstein

It is the obvious which is so difficult to see most of the time. People say 'It's as plain as the nose on your face.' But how much of the nose on your face can you see, unless someone holds a mirror up to you?

انطلاقاً من آلية التفكير بالأصل، التي تؤسس للعجز العربي الراهن، من خلال تدشينها لنظام العقل التابع، إنما تجد ما يؤسسها في قلب البناء الأصولي لكل من الشافعي والأشعري، فإن هذه القراءة تجادل بأنه لا سبيل للانفلات من عوائق تلك الآلية، وآثارها التي لا تزال تتداعى حتى اليوم, استبداداً وتبعية، إلا عبر ارتداد بما يقوم وراء أصول الرائدين الكبيرين من الشرط المتعالي والمجاوز الذي جرى الإيهام بأنه - وليس سواه - هو ما يقوم وراءها، إلى الشرط الإنساني المتعيّن الذي يكاد - منفرداً - أن يحدد بناءها ويفسره، والذى تتجاوب فيه - على نحو مدهش - كل أبعاد الواقع الإنساني وعناصره، من النفسي والاجتماعي والسياسي والمعرفي. وبقدر ما يؤكد هذا التجاوب على إنسانية الشرط الذي انبثقت في إطاره أصول الرائدين، وبما ارتبط بها من آليات وطرائق في التفكير، فإنه يقطع - بذلك - بإمكان تجاوزها الانفلات من سطوتها. وهنا، يلزم التنويه بأن هذه القراءة لا تسعى إلى إنجاز ما هو أكثر من التاكيد على إمكان هذا الارتداد من "المتعالي" إلى "الإنساني

إذا كان الوضع الذي ساد في عالم الإسلام لترتيب العلاقة بين العقل والنقل; وأعني بالكيفية التي ظل معها العقل تابعا لسلطة النقل علي نحو شبه كامل, هو ما يؤسس لهذا التصور الغالب عن قصور العقل واحتياجه, فإن أصل هذا الوضع لا يرتد- علي عكس ما يتبادر سريعا للذهن- إلي الإسلام نفسه, بل إنه يجد ما يؤسسه كاملا في قلب الثقافة السابقة عليه, والتي يبدو- وللمفارقة- أن الإسلام قد قصد إلي زحزحة وإزاحة نظامها الكلي, علي الرغم من إدماجه لبعض عناصرها الجزئية في صميم بنائه. فإنه إذا كان التحليل يكشف عن أن من قاموا علي صياغة التيار الغالب في ثقافة الإسلام( الذين يتناسلون في سلالة ممتدة من علماء الأصول الكبار من مثل الشافعي وابن حنبل والأشعري والباقلاني والجويني والغزالي وابن تيمية وغيرهم) قد كرسوا تبعية- تتفاوت حدودها- من العقل للنقل, فإنه يبدو- وللغرابة- أن الترتيب الذي كرسه هؤلاء المؤسسون الكبار للعلاقة بين العقل والنقل, يمثل انحرافا عن ترتيب العلاقة بينهما الذي ينبني عليه فعل الوحي ذاته; وهو الفعل المؤسس للإسلام كدين.
