CāŠ—;
the height of absurdity in serving up pure nonsense, in stringing together
senseless and extravagant masses of words, such as had previously been known
only in madhouses, was finally reached in Hegel, and became the instrument
of the most beautiful mystification that has ever taken place, with a result
which will appear fabulous to posterity, and will remain as a monument of
German stupidity. - Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Idea, II, 22.

"Common sense should not be confused with %2common opinions%1, namely the
beliefs we can readily formulate when asked: these are often false
overgeneralisations or merely the result of prejudice.  Common sense
is a rich and profound store of information, not about laws, but about
what people are capable of doing, thinking or experiencing.  But common
sense, like our knowledge of the grammar of our native language, is hard
to get at and articulate, which is one reason why so much of philosophy,
psychology and social science is vapid, or simply false". - Aaron
Sloman in the introduction to his book 
"The Computer Revolution in Philosophy".

Please get me, from the library if possible, "The Computer Revolution in
Philosophy" by Aaron Sloman, Humanities Press.
