"From their experience or from the recorded experience of others (history), men learn only what their passions and their metaphysical prejudices allow them to learn"

This quote by Aldous Huxley suggests that people are restricted in what they can learn from their own experience or from the experience of others. He suggests that people's enthusiasms and metaphysical bias can function as a filter, avoiding them from discovering particular things. This might be since they hesitate to accept particular concepts or because they are not able to comprehend them. Huxley's quote suggests that individuals are not constantly available to finding out new things, which their own biases can avoid them from gaining a complete understanding of the world. This could be an alerting to be familiar with our own predispositions and to aim to be open to originalities and experiences. Eventually, Huxley's quote suggests that we should bear in mind our own constraints and aim to learn as much as we can from our own experience and the experience of others.
