To make America great again we must support public schools so our children can learn the ideas of these people!
I am saying we must teach and learn the lessons the intellectual giants of the human species has produced.
Take your pick,Plato, Shakespeare, Newton, Descartes, Darwin, Nietzsche, Tolstoy, Dostoyesky,James Joyce and T.S. Eliot, Einstein, Maxwell, Bertrand Russell, Alfred North Whitehead, HL Mencken, Steven Pinker, Mark Twain and Will Rogers and on and on.
You can't call that dogma. You call that great ideas. Their ideas are the foundation of our modern civilization and democracy. And you know, all of them are pretty much saying the same thing generally speaking because what they're talking about is simply a reality that they took the time to learn to see.
All they did was spend more time on it than other people. And it's pretty much the same reality for all of them because it consists primarily of just facts and logic.
Facts and reason: "Which remain the same for all people and everywhere."
Will Durant ,
talking about the ancient Greeks persistent effort to subordinate fancy to reason"
What we must do. |
