"Philosophy
is a study which needs a very protracted concentrated study before one
so much as begins to be at all expert in the handling of it, if one
is to be precise, systematic, and scientific. I gave ten years to it
before I ventured to offer half a dozen brief contributions of my own.
Three years later, when I had produced something more elaborated, I
went abroad and in England, Germany, Italy, Spain, learned from their
own mouths what certain students at once of science and of philosophy
were turning in their minds."
C. S. Peirce, Letter to The Sun, MS 325, p. 4, c.1907. |
