philosophy priorities substance
Philosophy is the science of estimating values. The superiority of any state or substance over another is determined by philosophy.

philosophy guiding-principles often-is
The task of the political philosopher can only be to influence public opinion, not to organize people for action. He will do so effectively only if he is not concerned with what is now politically possible but consistently defends the "general principles which are always the same."

Conservatism may often be a useful practical maxim, but it does not give us any guiding principles which can influence long-range developments. Friedrich August von Hayek

philosophical thinking people
People habituate themselves to let things pass through their minds, as one may speak, rather than to think of them.
