8138 | Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy |
Full Idea: Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy. | |||
From: St Paul (12: Colossians [c.55], 2.8) | |||
A reaction: The same might be said of preaching. The two sorts of spoiling seem to be fanaticism and wickedness. While reason can lead to fanaticism, I believe (with Socrates) that it is unlikely to corrupt morally. |
