“St. Augustine was greatly influenced by Cicero’s vivid image of Etruscan pirates’ torture of prisoners by strapping a corpse to them face to face.” --Descartes’ Baby (2004) by Paul Bloom "... before they can speak or walk or control their bowels, babies see the world as containing both physical things, which are governed by principles such as solidity and gravity, and immaterial minds, which are driven by emotions and goals. Babies are natural-born dualists." --Descartes’ Baby (2004) by Paul Bloom |
