Philosophy Is The Childhood Of The Intellect,

Everything, Living Or Not, Is Constituted From Elements Having A Nature That Is Both Physical And Nonphysical - That Is, Capable Of Combining Into Mental Wholes. So This Reductive Account Can Also Be Described As A Form Of Panpsychism: All The Elements Of The Physical World Are Also Mental.

Altruism Itself Depends On A Recognition Of The Reality Of Other Persons, And On The Equivalent Capacity To Regard Oneself As Merely One Individual Among Many.

The Inclusion Of Consequences In The Conception Of What We Have Done Is An Acknowledgement That We Are Parts Of The World, But The Paradoxical Character Of Moral Luck Which Emerges From This Acknowledgement Shows That We Are Unable To Operate With Such A View, For It Leaves Us With No One To Be.

The Point Is... To Live One's Life In The Full Complexity Of What One Is, Which Is Something Much Darker, More Contradictory, More Of A Maelstrom Of Impulses And Passions, Of Cruelty, Ecstacy, And Madness, Than Is Apparent To The Civilized Being Who Glides On The Surface And Fits Smoothly Into The World.

Every Subjective Phenomenon Is Essentially Connected With A Single Point Of View, And It Seems Inevitable That An Objective, Physical Theory Will Abandon That Point Of View.
