2. Reason / A. Nature of Reason / 7. Status of Reason
Opposition to reason is mad [Locke]
     Full Idea: Opposition to reason deserves the name of madness.
     From: John Locke (Essay Conc Human Understanding (2nd Ed) [1694], 2.33.04)
     A reaction: This may just be a tautology, based on the meaning of the word 'madness', but it sounds more like a clarion call for the Englightenment.
