Some Problems of Philosophy Quotes

“Philosophy, beginning in wonder, as Plato and Aristotle said, is able to fancy everything different from what it is. It sees the familiar as if it were strange, and the strange as if it were familiar. It can take things up and lay them down again. It rouses us from our native dogmatic slumber and breaks up our caked prejudices.”
― William James, Some Problems of Philosophy: A Beginning of an Introduction to Philosophy

“The question of being is the darkest in all philosophy.”
― William James, Some Problems of Philosophy: A Beginning of an Introduction to Philosophy
