Quotation from The Problems of Philosophy by Bertrand Russell
“The man who has no tincture of philosophy goes through life imprisoned in the prejudices derived from common sense, from the habitual beliefs of his age or his nation, and from convictions which have grown up in his mind without the co-operation or consent of his deliberate reason.”
The Problems of Philosophy, Chapter XV (Project Gutenberg text)
Russell describes the narrowness of a life without philosophical questioning.
