Quote by Francis H. Bradley
Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct; but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
Summary
This quote suggests that metaphysics, which refers to the study of fundamental questions about reality and existence, often provides flawed or insufficient justifications for our innate beliefs. However, the quote emphasizes that the pursuit of these justifications is itself an instinctual human tendency. It implies that even though the reasons we find may not always be sound, our instinctual drive to seek understanding and meaning in the world is a fundamental part of our nature.
