Harry Frankfurt Quotes

I used to teach at Yale, which was at one time a center of postmodernist literary theory. Derrida was there. Paul de Man was there Picture Quote #1

As a philosopher, I’m not obliged to explore every unknown wilderness Picture Quote #1

Recognizing truth requires selflessness. You have to leave yourself out of it so you can find out the way things are in themselves, not the way they look to you or how you feel about them or how you would like them to be Picture Quote #1

There are significant relationships, of course, between wanting things and caring about them.. The notion of caring is in large part constructed out of the notion of desire. Caring about something may be, in the end, nothing more than a certain complex mode of wanting it. However, simply attributing desire to a person does not in itself convey that the person cares about the object he desires Picture Quote #1

It is impossible for someone to lie unless he thinks he knows the truth. A person who lies is thereby responding to the truth, and he is to that extent respectful of it Picture Quote #1

It is only because a person has volitions of the second order that he is capable both of enjoying and of lacking freedom of the will Picture Quote #1
