TOLERANT

RESPONSIBLE
• “ The meaning of a truly “reasonable being” is not only to use that capacity as an historian, scientist, or mathematician, but also to respond to the claims of morality and religion”.
INVESTIGATOR
• “What was wrong and is wrong with faith in progress is that not only is historical change not ipso facto benign, but that without a shared knowledge, understanding and belief in the Good, “ the objetive moral order”, there can be no coherent, believable, or effective knowledge of how to improve either the self or society”.
PROBLEM SOLVER
• “ Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another.”
PROBLEM SOLVER
• “After all, man is not a reasoning animal, he is a seeing, feeling, contemplating, acting animal”.
