I happened to pull Ethical Studies by F.H. Bradley from the shelves today. A few pages in, I noticed
It is not so easy to say what the people mean by their ordinary words, for this reason, that the question is not answered until it is asked; that asking is reflection, and that we reflect in general not to find the facts, but to prove our theories at the expense of them.
Are we then necessarily asking leading questions? I suppose that reflection must require a high degree of scrupulousness to avoid that.
