Comprehensive Quote by Joseph Alexander Leighton

“A system of philosophy, or metaphysics, is a union of a world view and a life view in one harmonious, complete, integral conception. In so far as any man strives to attain, by rational inquiry, a consistent and comprehensive view of life and reality, he is a metaphysician.” quote by Joseph Alexander Leighton — Download Open image
