“A rapidez com que as teorias científicas do passado recente foram inventadas, aceitas e descartadas nos serve de alerta de que a ciência não é uma verdade fixa e absoluta.”
Gordon Haddon Clark, William James e John Dewey
“For, however cautiously one proposes to control men's desires, the stark reality of the theory soon becomes shockingly plain. Dewey wants to manipulate men as completely as science manipulates physical nature. Certain manipulators will control the thoughts of the populace and make everybody desire what the manipulators want them to desire... The ideal is complete, inescapable control. No longer will it be possible for individuals to want those things they have heretofore wanted. Parents will not be able to want to teach their children their own religion; they will not be able to believe in inalienable rights.”
Gordon H. Clark, William James and John Dewey
“No sistema aristotélico, a ética é um fator relativamente pouco importante. O cristianismo, entretanto, com a condenação do pecado e o apelo à retidão dá forte ênfase à moral. Não obstante, a ética não é a base do sistema cristão. A teologia é mais fundamental, pois a ética depende de Deus.”
Gordon H. Clark, William James and John Dewey
