If man possesses a pre-ontological comprehension of the being of God, it is not the great wonders of nature nor the power of society which have conferred it upon him. God, value and supreme end of transcendence, represents the permanent limit in terms of which man makes known to himself what he is. - Jean-Paul Sartre (2/2)

The best way to conceive of the fundamental project of human reality is to say that man is the being whose project is to be God. Whatever may be the myths and rites of the religion considered, God is first "sensible to the heart" of man as the one who identifies and defines him in his ultimate and fundamental project. - Jean-Paul Sartre (1/2)

You've got to take things as they are. Moreover, to say that we invent values means nothing else but this: life has no meaning a priori.
Before you come alive, life is nothing; it's up to you to give it a meaning, and value is nothing else but the meaning that you choose. - Jena-Paul Sartre -

“The disparity in real income between the rich and the poor and the decline of the middle class have been growing swiftly over the last decade and a half. After leading the world in almost all respects in midcentury, there are some signs of decline in the United States at century's end. The quality of leadership can be pointed to, but so can the dwindling penchant for critical thinking and political action in its citizens." - Carl Sagan

"He has formed his mind on another's, and the imitative faculty is not itself productive. In other words, his knowledge has not in him arisen out of reason, and although, objectively considered, it is indeed knowledge due to reason, it is yet, in its subjective character, merely historical. He has grasped and kept; that is, he has learnt well, and is merely a plaster-cast of a living man." - Immanuel #Kant, #CritiqueOfPureReason #philosophy #philosophyquotes #criticalthinking #beyourself

"…One always finds one's burden again. But #Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile: Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself, forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
- Albert #Camus -

When you want to teach children to think, you begin by treating them seriously when they are little, giving them responsibilities, talking to them candidly, providing privacy and solitude for them, and making them readers and thinkers of significant thoughts from the beginning. That's if you want to teach them to think.
