About this quote

A serious encounter with new ideas can permanently enlarge the range of questions a learner can ask.

When to use it

• Before the next class, read one argument that challenges your view and summarize it fairly before responding.
• Use the same principle on one difficult subject: read one argument that challenges your view and summarize it fairly before responding, then note what changed.
• Try it with a classmate or study group: read one argument that challenges your view and summarize it fairly before responding, and compare the result at the end of the week.
