Illusions of the mind

Product details

"There is nothing worse than glorifying error. When you deify folly, it is a calamity that befalls the mind. In this folly some modern thinkers have indulged, and with utter ignorance they have tried to establish a natural philosophy on the first chapter of Genesis, the Book of Job, and other parts of the Bible, thus searching for the dead among the living. Such folly must be stopped and suppressed with all force, for from this unhealthy mixture of the human and the divine springs not only a false philosophy, but also a heretical religion. Hence, the head of wisdom and balance is to give to faith what is for faith and nothing more." (Francis Bacon)
