Philosophy points out that we have to study a subject not only from the outside but also from the inside--that is to say, not only critically but also sympathetically--if we would arrive at a just estimate of it. Those who paint it all black with defects or all white with virtues, and omit all intermediate or half-shades, make a serious mistake.
