I'm not sure I understand how responsibility for our choices makes sense if they are not determined.

Eventually, I believe, current attempts to understand the mind by analogy with man-made computers that can perform superbly some of the same external tasks as conscious beings will be recognized as a gigantic waste of time.

I conceive ethics as a branch of psychology.

Reason is universal because no attempted challenge to its results can avoid appealing to reason in the end-by claiming, for example, that what was presented as an argument is really a rationalization. This can undermine our confidence in the original method or practice only by giving us reasons to believe something else, so that finally we have to think about the arguments to make up our minds.

Philosophy is the childhood of the intellect, and a culture that tries to skip it will never grow up.

A theory of motivation is defective if it renders intelligible behaviour which is not intelligible.

Each of our lives is a part of the lengthy process of the universe gradually waking up and becoming aware of itself.
