"Dogmatism and skepticism are both, in a sense, absolute philosophies; one is certain of knowing, the other of not knowing. What philosophy should dissipate is certainty, whether of knowledge or ignorance"

This quote by Bertrand Russell speaks to the idea that neither dogmatism nor uncertainty must be embraced as absolute philosophies. Dogmatism is the belief that one understands the reality and is specific of it, while skepticism is the belief that a person does not know the reality and is certain of that. Russell suggests that neither of these must be accepted as outright approaches, as certainty of either knowledge or lack of knowledge ought to be dissipated. Rather, Russell suggests that approach needs to be used to explore the unknown and to question what is understood. He suggests that philosophy should be utilized to check out the unidentified and to question what is known, instead of to be particular of either understanding or ignorance. This quote talks to the concept that understanding is not outright, and that it is very important to remain open up to originalities and to question what is understood.
