Cudworth

Famous quotes containing the word cudworth:

    The true knowledge or science which exists nowhere but in the mind itself, has no other entity at all besides intelligibility; and therefore whatsoever is clearly intelligible, is absolutely true.
    —Ralph J. Cudworth (1617–1688)

    Now all the knowledge and wisdom that is in creatures, whether angels or men, is nothing else but a participation of that one eternal, immutable and increated wisdom of God, or several signatures of that one archetypal seal, or like so many multiplied reflections of one and the same face, made in several glasses, whereof some are clearer, some obscurer, some standing nearer, some further off.
    —Ralph J. Cudworth (1617–1688)

    Truth is the most unbending and uncompliable, the most necessary, firm, immutable, and adamantine thing in the world.
    —Ralph J. Cudworth (1617–1688)
