As regards philosophy, on the contrary, there seems still an assumption prevalent that, though every one with eyes and fingers is not on that account in a position to make shoes if he only has leather and a last, yet everybody understands how to philosophize straight away, and pass judgment on philosophy, simply because he possesses the criterion for doing so in his natural reason-as if he did not in the same way possess the standard for shoemaking too in his own foot.
Filosofiari dagokionez, aldiz, badirudi orain aurreiritzi hau nagusitzen dela, hots, edonork begiak eta hatzak dituenean eta larrua eta tresnak jasotzen dituenean horregatik gai ez den arren oinetakoak egiteko, edonork dakiela filosofatzen eta filosofia epaitzen, horretarako eredua bere berezko arrazoimenean duelako, bere oinetakoaren eredua bere oinean izango ez balu bezala.
