Protagoras

The pursuit of truth, when it is wholehearted must ignore moral considerations; we cannot know in advance that the truth will turn out to be what is thought edifying in a given society.

One of the defects of all philosophers since Plato is that their inquires into ethics proceed on the assumption that they already know the conclsion to be reached.
