Quotes by Ritchie Robertson (?)

“The esprit de système favours closed, rigid systems, whereas the esprit systématique accepts the authority of empirical phenomena and comes to conclusions that are provisional and can be modified in the light of further findings.”
― Ritchie Robertson, The Enlightenment: The Pursuit of Happiness, 1680-1790

“The Enlightenment, the so-called ‘age of reason’, would increasingly rely on the guidance of the emotions. Reason untempered by feeling was felt to be inadequate, even dangerous. ‘Virtue born of reason alone,’ said Pietro Verri, ‘makes us just, faithful, discreet and circumspect; but that which springs from sentiment makes us generous, affectionate, benevolent; the first tends to remove evil from our actions, the second urges us with positive actions towards the good.”
― Ritchie Robertson, The Enlightenment: The Pursuit of Happiness, 1680-1790

“Democracies can become corrupt when the egalitarian spirit becomes so extreme that nobody wants to acknowledge anyone else’s authority: this will lead to anarchy, which will in turn be quelled by the emergence of a tyrant.”
― Ritchie Robertson, The Enlightenment: The Pursuit of Happiness, 1680-1790
