There Are Four Chief Obstacles In Grasping Truth ... Namely, Submission To Faulty And Unworthy Authority, Influence Of Custom, Popular Prejudice, And The Concealment Of Our Own Ignorance Accompanied By An Ostentatious Display Of Our Knowledge.

There Are Two Modes Of Acquiring Knowledge, Namely By Reasoning And Experience. Reasoning Draws A Conclusion And Makes Us Grant The Conclusion, But Does Not Make The Conclusion Certain, Nor Does It Remove Doubt So That The Mind May Rest On The Intuition Of Truth, Unless The Mind Discovers It By The Path Of Experience.

Argument Is Conclusive, But It Does Not Remove Doubt.
