Allen W. Wood frases

• Popular religion since the time of Kant and Fichte has gone in a direction they tried to prevent and that has been disastrous for the humanity both of believers and of the rest of us. Look at the role of religion in Republican presidential primaries if you need any confirmation of this last statement.

• Since we cannot know too much about the long term effects of our particular lives, and since success and fame are not good measures of the value of what we have done, it should be enough for any of us that as far as we can tell, in some small way we have made humanity's future better rather than worse.

• Es motivo de vergüenza para cualquier miembro de la raza humana ser miembro de la misma especie algunos de cuyos miembros podrían votar a cualquier candidato a la presidencia que haya ofrecido el partido republicano. Tales personas parecen estar motivadas únicamente por la avaricia miope, la ignorancia, el miedo y el odio.

• Me ha llevado mucho tiempo darme cuenta de en qué estoy más en desacuerdo con Marx. Su evaluación del capitalismo es demasiado favorable. Consideró que su inestabilidad, inhumanidad e irracionalidad eran signos de que se trataba de una forma meramente transitoria, que había puesto en manos de la humanidad los medios para una forma de vida mucho mejor que cualquiera de las que han existido jamás en la Tierra. Marx no podía creer que nuestra especie fuera tan ignorante, irracional y servil como para soportar un modo de vida tan monstruoso.

• Capitalism now seems more likely a swamp, a bog, a quicksand in which humanity is presently flailing about, unable to extricate itself, perhaps doomed to perish within a few generations from the long term effects of the technology which seemed to Marx its greatest gift to humanity.

• Adam Smith saw the greed of modern capitalism for what it was - a form of destructive ambition that may have favorable effects on the productive capacities of society, but which is of no direct benefit to anyone - not even to the greedy themselves, whose illusory chase after a will-o-the-wisp leaves them morally bankrupt and unhappy.

• Es triste ser testigo de la persistencia en nuestra sociedad del racismo y la xenofobia que parecen formar parte permanente de nuestra cultura política. Es vergonzoso ver cómo los políticos explotan estas debilidades humanas para obtener poder político. Lo más deprimente de todo es contemplar un futuro en el que los políticos que hacen esto seguirán teniendo influencia en la vida de las personas.

• It is actually a nice question how far Descartes himself endorses the monological and metaphysically dualistic theory of mind associated with his name and his legacy in early modern philosophy. But Fichte does reject this tradition, by suggesting that an immaterial thinking substance is an incoherent notion, and a rational being whose rationality was not developed through communication with others is a transcendental impossibility.

• Those who see Smith as a defender of capitalism - as it existed in Marx's day, or as it exists today - show above all that they are not living in the real world. They are behaving as though the undeveloped form of capitalism Smith studied is still with us.

• Kant's treatments of rational theology and metaphysics were aimed primarily at theoretical questions. His attitude toward the pseudo-sciences of "special metaphysics" in Wolff and Baumgarten was always double-edged. He did see them as pseudo-sciences but also valued their doctrinal value and especially their regulative value for the empirical sciences. Like his views about religion, I don't think any of this is any longer viable in its original form.

• Cuando las teorías consecuencialistas se desarrollan en términos de una psicología del bien igualmente superficial -como una forma burda de hedonismo-, los resultados a veces pueden parecer repugnantes e inhumanos a las personas sensatas. Las personas pueden ser reducidas a simples depositarias de estados sensoriales positivos o negativos, y su humanidad se pierde de vista por completo.
