September: Ethics

September 26

“Put in simple terms, piety means the deep down recognition of our frailty and dependence, the acknowledgment that the burden we inherit cannot be sustained unaided, the disposition to give thanks for our existence and reverence for the world on which we depend, and the sense of unfathomable mystery which surrounds our coming to be and our passing away.”

~ Roger Scruton, An Intelligent Person’s Guide to Philosophy
