"Ignore all rules" is a rule to set rules aside. The stance of ignoring all rules is itself a rule, constituting a paradox. A scholar on Immanuel Kant's view of genius states that this critical stance is accordingly transcended by the autonomy of genius: "Genius demonstrates its autonomy not by ignoring all rules, but by deriving the rules from itself." A famous quote of Ralph Waldo Emerson is "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=6279. Ralph Waldo Emerson. 1803-1882. John Bartlett, comp. 1919. Familiar Quotations, 10th ed )〕 In 2001, Stephen King made "ignore all rules" the second rule of reading in his autobiographical ''On Writing''. ==At Wikipedia== "Ignore All Rules" is a "favorite" rule of the English-language open content encyclopedia, Wikipedia.〔 Its formulation is generally (emphasis in original), "If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it." Wikipedia has a tradition of treating rules skeptically, except for this rule. The philosophy or mantra was championed by Larry Sanger (a co-founder of Wikipedia, active 2001–2002), who made it the first of a set of site guidelines〔 〕 (but later rejected it);〔 it continues to be disseminated by Jimmy Wales (the still active co-founder of Wikipedia).〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ignore all rules」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
