Bertrand Russell Quotes

This Illustration Might Also Be Used To Illustrate The Dialectic, Which Consists Of Thesis, Antithesis, And Synthesis. First We Say: 'Reality Is An Uncle.' This Is The Thesis. But The Existence Of An Uncle Implies That Of A Nephew. Since Nothing Really Exists Except The Absolute, And We Are Now Committed To The Existence Of A Nephew, We Must Conclude: 'The Absolute Is A Nephew.' This Is The Antithesis. But There Is The Same Objection To This As To The View That The Absolute Is An Uncle; Therefore We Are Driven To The View That The Absolute Is The Whole Composed Of Uncle And Nephew. This Is The Synthesis. But This Synthesis Is Still Unsatisfactory, Because A Man Can Be An Uncle Only If He Has A Brother Or Sister Who Is A Parent Of The Nephew. Hence We Are Driven To Enlarge Our Universe To Include The Brother Or Sister, With His Wife Or Her Husband.
