Notes and topics

Philosophy should not aim directly at moral regeneration. "My anger against Mr. Kolman was much enhanced by his being a Czech. Though a fool, he has power to help in hounding good men to their death."

Dear Father Copleston

Thank you very much for your friendly letter. I agree with you both about Kolman and about Schilpp. I do not think philosophy should aim directly at moral regeneration, any more than (say) astronomy should. My anger against Mr. Kolman was much enhanced by his being a Czech. Though a fool, he has power to help in hounding good men to their death.

Yours sincerely
Russell.
