Quote by Morris Raphael Cohen
In thus pointing out certain respects in which philosophy resembles literature more than science, I do not mean, of course, to imply that it would be well for philosophy if it ceased to aim at scientific rigor.
Summary
The quote highlights the similarity between philosophy and literature rather than science, but it does not suggest that philosophy should abandon scientific rigor. Instead, it emphasizes that while philosophy shares some qualities with literature, such as a focus on interpretation and analysis, it should not compromise its commitment to rigorous inquiry.
