2896	I want to understand the Socratic idea that 'reason equals virtue equals happiness' [Nietzsche]
	Full Idea: I seek to understand out of what idiosyncrasy that Socratic equation 'reason equals virtue equals happiness' derives.
	From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Twilight of the Idols [1889], 1.04)

12526	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.
