The reverence that philosophers show for the historical sources of ideas is very perverse. …Surely it is more interesting to argue about what the truth is, than about what some particular thinker, however great, did or did not think.
—David Deutsch, The Fabric of Reality
哲学家们对于历史思想来源的尊敬是非常反常的。当然，争论真理是什么，而不是一些特定的思想家，无论伟大的，做了还是没有想的，都是更有趣的。
