The philosophy of Mr. B*rtr*nd R*ss*ll

Note 91 — Chapter XXXIV · THE UNKNOWABLE

Reading edition

The assertion of the finitude of a man’s mind appears to be nonsense; both because, if we say that the mind of man is limited we tacitly postulate an “unknowable,” and because, even if the human mind were finite, there is no more reason against its conceiving the infinite than there is for a mind to be blue in order to conceive a pair of blue eyes (cf. De Morgan, loc. cit.).

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
