Oxford

Mary Warnock
"The point of philosophy, in my view, is to examine things we take for granted in ordinary or scientific discourse, such as the nature of causal connexion, the relation between mind and body, or health and disease. Philosophy has always been concerned with such hidden meanings, so it has been of especial interest to me to try to understand and expound the writings of previous philosophers, Aristotle, Hume or Sartre, as a means to this philosophical end."

Geoffrey Warnock
"To be clear-headed rather than confused; lucid rather than obscure; rational rather than otherwise; and to be neither more, nor less, sure of things than is justifiable by argument or evidence. That is worth trying for."
