and from the attributes of God, his infinite wisdom, goodness and power, concluded that nothing could possibly be wrong in the world, and that vice and virtue were empty distinctions, no such things existing, appear'd now not so clever a performance as I once thought it; and I doubted whether some error had not insinuated itself unperceiv'd into my argument, so as to infect all that follow'd, as is common in metaphysical reasonings.

白话
富兰克林年轻时写文章论证:从上帝的无限智慧、善良和力量出发,世上不可能有错,善恶只是空名,并无实质区别。后来他回头看,觉得这文章不像当初以为的那么高明,怀疑论证里悄悄混进了错误,把后面结论全带偏了——形而上学的推理常这样。这让他对这类纯思辨的论证保持警惕,不再轻易被漂亮逻辑说服。
上下文
出自《富兰克林自传》。富兰克林回忆自己早年受自由思想影响写的哲学文章,后来反思其论证漏洞。
