- school metaphysics, for instance, let us ask; does
- it contain any abstract reasoning concerning
- quantity or number? No. Does it contain any
- experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact
- and existence? No. Commit it then to the flames,
- for it can contain nothing but sophistry and
- confusion."
