Quote by Ursula K. LeGuin
Reason is a faculty far larger than mere objective force. When either the political or the scientific discourse announces itself as the voice of reason, it is playing God, and should be spanked and stood in the corner.
Summary
This quote suggests that reason extends beyond pure intellect and involves a deeper understanding and wisdom. It warns against the tendency of politics or science to claim an exclusive monopoly on reason, equating themselves with divine authority. The quote humorously suggests that such claims should be reprimanded and marginalized, as they limit the expansiveness of reason and fail to acknowledge the nuanced and multifaceted nature of this faculty.
