Objectiveness |
|
The degree to which one lives the quality of objectiveness is proportional to ones ultimate ability to obtain knowledge and wisdom.
Objectiveness is not created by giving equal time to divergent opinions. When one possesses this virtue, however, divergent ideas may well be considered before arriving at any firm judgment or opinion.
The greatest protection against subjective bigotry is the unwavering desire for the complete truth.
Self-knowledge does not guarantee the possession of objectiveness. Without a reasonable degree of awareness of personal motivations, however, objectiveness is not only beyond reach but is beyond any understanding of its nature. |
