Hi Matt

Whilst I was looking up one quote, I came across this one, which I thought
you would appreciate:

"I read, '...philosophers are no nearer to the meaning of 'Reality' than
Plato got....'. What a strange situation. How extraordinary that Plato could
have got even as far as he did! Or that we could not get any further! Was it
because Plato was so *extremely* clever?" (LW, Culture and Value, p15)

:o)

Also, and a bit more relevant:
"What a Copernicus or a Darwin really achieved was not the discovery of a
true theory but of a fertile new point of view." (CV p18)
