- Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

About this Quote

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel's quote recommends that philosophy has actually ended up being extremely important of everything it comes across, and that a review of philosophy itself is a fair and simply response. This suggests that philosophy has ended up being too judgmental and has actually lost its ability to be unbiased and tolerant of different point of views. Schlegel's quote recommends that approach should be held to the very same standards it uses to other disciplines, which it must be open to criticism and self-reflection. This quote likewise implies that philosophy must not be exempt from criticism, which it needs to want to accept criticism and utilize it to improve itself. Eventually, Schlegel's quote suggests that philosophy should be open to criticism and self-reflection in order to stay relevant and beneficial.
