1. Philosophy / D. Nature of Philosophy / 7. Despair over Philosophy

8138	Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy [Paul]
	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.
