Russell aptly famous in his background of Western Philosophy that: not anyone has but succeeded in inventing a philosophy immediately credible and self-consis tent. Locke geared toward credibility, and accomplished it on the cost of consistency. lots of the nice philosophers have performed the other. A philosophy which isn't self-consis tent can't be absolutely real, yet a philosophy that's self-consistent can rather well be utterly fake. the main fruitful philosophies have contained evident inconsistencies, yet for that very cause were partly precise. there isn't any cause to feel self constant procedure comprises extra fact than one that, like Locke's, is clearly kind of fallacious.
