Walter Kaufmann quotes
" When Hegel later became a man of influence' he insisted that the Jews should be granted equal rights because civic rights belong to man because he is a man and not on account of his ethnic origins or his religion. "

Walter Kaufmann
" Two later revolts against Hegelianism dominate English and American philosophy in the twentieth century: pragmatism and analytic philosophy. "

Walter Kaufmann
" To try to fashion something from suffering, to relish our triumphs, and to endure defeats without resentment: all that is compatible with the faith of a heretic. "

Walter Kaufmann
" To make the problem of suffering a perplexing problem, one quires very specific presuppositions, and once those are accepted the problem becomes not only puzzling but insoluble. "

Walter Kaufmann
" Those who believe in God because their experience of life and the facts of nature prove his existence must have led sheltered lives and closed their hearts to the voice of their brothers' blood. "

Walter Kaufmann
" Thirdly, even if we assume that the world is governed by purpose, we need only add that this purpose - or, if there are several, at least one of them - is not especially intent on preventing suffering, whether it is indifferent to suffering or actually rejoices in it. "

Walter Kaufmann
" The sufferer who cannot give any meaning to his suffering may inspire someone else, possibly without even knowing it, perhaps after death. "

Walter Kaufmann
" The writings of Hegel and Plato abound in admittedly one-sided statements that are clearly meant to formulate points of view that are then shown to be inadequate and are countered by another perspective. "

Walter Kaufmann
" The problem of suffering is: why is there the suffering we know? "

Walter Kaufmann
" The only theism worthy of our respect believes in God not because of the way the world is made but in spite of that. The only theism that is no less profound than the Buddha's atheism is that represented in the Bible by Job and Jeremiah. "

Walter Kaufmann
" The great artist is the man who most obviously succeeds in turning his pains to advantage, in letting suffering deepens his understanding and sensibility, in growing through his pains. "

Walter Kaufmann
" The first function of a book review should be, I believe, to give some idea of the contents and character of the book. "

Walter Kaufmann
" The doctrine of original sin claims that all men sinned in Adam; but whether they did or whether it is merely a fact that all men sin does not basically affect the problem of suffering. "

Walter Kaufmann
" The deepest difference between religions is not that between polytheism and monotheism. "

Walter Kaufmann
" Rabbi Zusya said that on the Day of Judgment, God would ask him, not why he had not been Moses, but why he had not been Zusya. "
