I Agree With You That It Is Important To Examine Our Presuppositions, Throughly And Once For All, In Order To Establish Something Solid.

I Am Convinced That The Unwritten Knowledge Scattered Among Men Of Different Callings Surpasses In Quantity And In Importance Anything We Find In Books, And That The Greater Part Of Our Wealth Has Yet To Be Recorded.

Everything That Is Possible Demands To Exist.

Why Is There Anything At All Rather Than Nothing Whatsoever?
