Encourage questioning

in critical •  7 years ago  (edited)

What being open-minded means to me: When you are open-minded, it means that you are objective and allow yourself to think in other and many more directions than only one. It means not living blindly and staring into one option only. Are we able to discuss things openly, speak our minds freely and explore other options?

I believe that by being able to exchange ideas, problems can be solved and it can be essential for the future of true and absolute democracy.

Listening to other people, respecting their opinions and point-of-views, and having an opinion of your own without being critical to their view is what motivates me and helps me to avoid falsity.

Critical Rationalism is one of the many methods of enquiry in philosophy that encourages open-mindedness and questioning.

"Critical rationalists focus on one thing: avoiding falsity." Quote from the book: Rethinking our world, Juta Publishers, Philip Higgs & Jane Smith; page 31

I promote Critical Rationalism, do you?

I do agree with Critical Rationalism as I do to Altruism.
Today the "Fascist" trendies are Progressist. Old times where Conservative. People tend always to exaggerate and tend to not respect each one beliefs.
