The Inspiring Type of French Philosophy

A quotation I came across today which I must share with you all:

"Furthermore, if one remembers the history of the word atheism, and how it has been applied even to Spinoza, the most positive of philosophers, we must admit that all thinking which displaces, or otherwise defines, the sacred has been called atheistic, and that philosophy which does not place it here or there, like a thing, but at the joining of things and words, will always be exposed to this reproach without ever being touched by it."

Marice Merleau-Ponty, In Praise of Philosophy, 46.

I could not have put it better, so I won't try.
