Hegel's Philosophy Of The State

Such is Hegel's doctrine of the State — a doctrine, which, if accepted, justifies every internal tyranny and every external aggression that can possibly be imagined.  The strength of his bias appears in the fact that his theory is largely inconsistent with his own metaphysic, and that the inconsistencies are such as tend to the justification of cruelty and international brigandage.  A man may be pardoned if logic compels him regretfully to reach conclusions he deplores, but not for departing from logic in order to be free to advocate crimes.

 — Bertrand Russell History Of Western Philosophy (p711)

Hegel's Philosophy Of History

Like other historical theories, it required, if it was to be made plausible, some distortion of the facts and considerable ignorance.  Hegel, like Marx and Spengler after him, possessed both these qualifications.

 — Bertrand Russell History Of Western Philosophy (p705)

Afflict The Comfortable

In all life one should comfort the afflicted, but verily, also, 

one should afflict the comfortable, and especially 

when they are comfortably, contentedly, even happily wrong.

 — John Kenneth Galbraith

Chief Exploitative Officers

The salary of the chief executive of a large corporation is not a market award for achievement. 

It is frequently in the nature of a warm personal gesture by the individual to himself.

What 'Begging The Question' Means

Begging the question (or petitio principii, "assuming the initial point") is a logical fallacy in which the proposition to be proved is assumed implicitly or explicitly in the premise. The word beg, when used in this phrase, does not mean "asking for something", instead it means to dodge or avoid.

The first known definition in the West is by the Greek philosopher Aristotle around 350 BCE, in his book Prior Analytics, where he classified it as a material fallacy.
