“Pretend what we may, the whole man within us is at work when we form our philosophical opinions.”
William James (1842–1910) American philosopher, psychologist, and pragmatist
1880s, The Sentiment of Rationality (1882)
Context: Pretend what we may, the whole man within us is at work when we form our philosophical opinions. Intellect, will, taste, and passion co-operate just as they do in practical affairs; and lucky it is if the passion be not something as petty as a love of personal conquest over the philosopher across the way.
