If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school
metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, "Does it contain any
abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number?" No. "Does
it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of
fact and existence?" No. Commit it then to the flames: for it
can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion.
-- David Hume
