A rationalist is...


«A rationalist is simply someone for whom it is more important to learn than to be proved right; someone who is willing to learn from others not by simply taking over another’s opinions, but by gladly allowing others to criticize his ideas and by gladly criticizing the ideas of others»

 (Karl Raimund Popper)

Notabilities who pass for thinkers


«…but the men, too, who are looked upon as leaders, continually fail us, when artists and men of learning show themselves as supporters of barbarism, and notabilities who pass for thinkers, and behave outwardly as such, are revealed, when crises come, as being nothing more than writers and members of academies»
