The Importance of Changing Your Mind

Spencer: I would be hard pressed to give a framework that would capture most of my reactions to different philosophical thought experiments. But the initial reaction is always that I'm totally enthralled by the thought experiments, it's I'm in its thrall. It's the same feeling I get when I read a well written philosophical paper, arguing for a position that isn't mine. And then I remember, oh, no, but I definitely disagree with this author.
