Sinossi
Excerpt from What Should I Believe?: An Inquiry Into the Nature, Grounds and Value of the Faiths of Science, Society, Morals and Religion
When we come to examine matters of politi cal and social theory and practice, we need not be long in discovering that the strongest forces controlling here are the beliefs rather than the science of mankind. Debates in representative bodies the world over are not statements of truths verily known and accompanied by their proofs; they are more largely muddles of un analyzed beliefs and crude unverified opinions. Of the causes of these opinions those who hold them can give little account; and the reasons for them have never been subjected to any thorough examination or prepared for legiti mate defence. In the less deliberate and guarded forms of the social maxims and social customs, the beliefs rather than the knowledges of the human beings who compose the social factors have much the larger sway.
