Quote of the day

Nothing which is at all times and in every way agreeable to us can have objective reality.

Dream-furniture is the only kind on which you never stub your toes or bang your knee.

There are two kinds of comprehensive doctrines, religious and secular. Those of religious faith will say I give a veiled argument for secularism, and the latter will say I give a veiled argument for religion. I deny both. Each side presumes the basic ideas of constitutional democracy, so my suggestion is that we can make our political arguments in terms of public reason. Then we stand on common ground. That's how we can understand each other and cooperate.
