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.

Imagination is the Discovering Faculty, pre-eminently. It is that which penetrates into the unseen worlds around us, the worlds of Science.

I grew up a Red Sox fan. I grew up going to Fenway Park and the Museum of Fine Arts and the Science Museum and Symphony Hall and going to the Common, walking around. My whole family at different times lived and worked in Boston.

We need to get across the excitement and creativity of science. That it isn't just a list of facts that have already been discovered - but a process, a creative project, that you are generating ideas, testing them and looking for evidence.

If I want to speculate wildly about the future, I have my science fiction. Anybody who tells you they can predict the future is either crazy or lying.
