On free thought.....................


"Whoever is acquainted with the history of philosophy for the last two or three centuries cannot but admit that there appears to have existed a sort of secret and tacit compact among the learned, not to pass beyond a certain limit in speculative science.  The privilege of free thought so highly extolled, has at not time been held valid in actual practice, except within this limit."

-Samuel Taylor Coleridge
