We have to make philosophy itself an object of philosophical concern.

From the perspective of mere representation, the external world always remains only a phenomenon.

In the real life-process, willing, feeling, and thinking are only different aspects.

The knife of historical relativism... which has cut to pieces all metaphysics and religion must also bring about healing.

I grew up in such a musical family, and my dad was the first chair in the Johannesburg Symphony Orchestra, and my mom was a piano teacher and a painter, so it was kind of a creative environment, and it was kind of in my DNA.

Everything is a learning process: any time you fall over, it's just teaching you to stand up the next time.

Early education is the type of issue politicians nod their heads at, and then when it comes time to make a tough decision, a financial trade-off, inevitably it's about the first item tossed from the table.

My mum didn't understand that education was an important thing. She couldn't do my homework with me. I was helping her read stuff. She once brought shaving soap thinking it was whipped cream.
