The Will to Believe

I live, to be sure, by the practical faith that we must go on experiencing and thinking over our experience, for only thus can our opinions grow more true; but to hold any one of them– I absolutely do not care which– as if it never could be reinterpreteable or corrigible, I believe to be a tremendously mistaken attitude, and I think that the whole history of philosophy will bear me out. –William James, The Will to Believe
