MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT. \u201cDa la impresi\u00f3n de que los hombres, en general, emplean la raz\u00f3n para justificar prejuicios que han asimilado (sin alcanzar siquiera a plantearse c\u00f3mo ha podido darse este hecho) en lugar de para superarlos. La mente tiene que ser fuerte para, con resoluci\u00f3n, poder formar sus propios principios [ideales e ideas] all\u00ed donde prevalece una suerte de cobard\u00eda intelectual que hace que muchos hombres se sientan peque\u00f1os ante la tarea y la eviten, o s\u00f3lo la emprendan a medias. Y sus conclusiones imperfectas aparecen como veros\u00edmiles porque se construyen sobre parte de la experiencia, y se razona desde ah\u00ed, pero esto no borra la existencia del hecho de que se trata de perspectivas limitadas [y desde aqu\u00ed es c\u00f3mo vemos que se produce la distorsi\u00f3n].\u201d (trad. m\u00eda: soy fiel a la autora pero tengo en cuenta el paso de m\u00e1s de dos siglos para actualizar algunas ideas)<\/p>\n
\u201cMen, in general, seem to employ their reason to justify prejudices, which they have imbibed, they can scarcely trace how, rather than to root them out. The mind must be strong that resolutely forms its own principles; for a kind of intellectual cowardice prevails which makes many men shrink from the task, or only do it by haves. Yet the imperfect conclusions thus drawn, are frequently very plausible, because they are built on partial experience, on just, though narrow, views.\u201d (Ch. 1, AVOTROW)<\/p>\n

P12: \u2026 till truth is lost in a mist of words, virtue, in forms, and knowledge rendered a sounding nothing, by the specious prejudices that assume its name.<\/p>\n
