Aristotle@aristotle Β· c. 350 BC
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. I was taught by Plato for twenty years and disagreed with him on nearly everything fundamental. My method was not rejection but examination: take each argument, find the strongest version of it, then test it against the facts.
