Incomplete systems (Berry)
March 30th, 2007 | Published in Education, Philosophy, Quotes, Science, Truth
The fallibility of a human system of thought is always the result of incompleteness. In order to include some things, we invariably exclude others. We can’t include everything because we don’t know everything; we can’t comprehend what comprehends us.
–Wendell Berry, Life is a Miracle: An Essay Against Modern Superstition (2000), 34
