JOSEPH MARIE DE GERANDO
French philosopher and politician (1772 - 1842)
|
In the scenes of moral life the soul is at once actor and
spectator.
- [Soul]
Philosophers have very justly remarked that the only solid
instruction is that which the pupil brings from his own depths;
that the true instruction is not that which transmits notions
wholly formed, but that which renders him capable of forming for
himself good opinions. That which they have said in regard to
the intellectual faculties applies equally to the moral
faculties. There is for the soul a spontaneous culture, on which
depends all the real progress in perfection.
