Quote by Bertrand Russell

Science is what you know, philosophy is what you don't know.

Science is what you know, philosophy is what you don't know.

Summary

This quote suggests that the realm of science deals with measurable, factual knowledge - things that are known through observation and experimentation. On the other hand, philosophy explores the unknown, focusing on complex questions about existence, meaning, and morality. It implies that while science seeks to uncover and understand the known world, philosophy delves into the aspects of life and knowledge that are uncertain, ambiguous, or beyond our current understanding. Philosophy provides a space for exploration, speculation, and contemplation of the mysteries that science has not yet elucidated.

Now, may the good God pardon all good men!

Whenever we encounter the Infinite in man, however imperfectly understood, we treat it with respect.

So great a subject for spiritual contemplation, such measureless dreaming -- the echo of God on the human wall!
