The Hamlet Philosophy
“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
~William Shakespeare
“That’s my philosophy: ‘More-ness’. There are only three possibilities: There are (1) more things, (2) fewer things, or the (3) same number of things in heaven and earth—that is, in objective reality—than are dreamed of in my philosophy—that is, that are in my mind. So, either the world is richer, poorer, or exactly the same quantity as what I think. The philosophy of all great thinkers and all great artists of all time has always been the ‘Hamlet Philosophy’.”
~Peter Kreeft
