About This Quote

The idea of starting with experience and then proceeding into reason is that you must look at the facts. If you start with the facts it can help you to see things clearly. For example, if you start with the facts about the world, you may be able to see what is wrong with it. If you don’t start with facts, then you will not be able to find out what is wrong with things.
