Critical appreciation of the ignorance of learned
- He wrote "On the Ignorance of the Learned" in the year 1822. Hazlitt presents a strong case for his contention that formal education fosters prejudice and ignorance. He argues that experience cannot be replaced by learning from books. To fully learn, one must actively engage in life rather than only reading about it.
- Common sense is the just outcome of all of these subconscious impressions from everyday life events that are stored in memory and brought to mind by the situation. The same approach, applied to loftier terrain and in more unique combinations, is fundamental to both genius and taste.
- One of Mara Irene Fornés' most well-regarded plays, The Conduct of Life, combines politics, gender, and sexuality to demonstrate how different types of personal and international violence frequently coexist in close proximity to one another.
- Hazlitt wanted to refute the assumption that people are inherently selfish (charitable deeds are merely rationally modified greed, preferably made habitual), which was a central tenet of most of the moral philosophy of the time.
