Aristotle
I'm researching a short paper I'm writing on Aristotle and I came across this quote.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.I guess that just strikes me because of people I've witnessed display a failure to grasp that concept.

mind games.
that's all you're about!
this blog is stupid.
Do you think this statement implies that only an ignorant/naive person believes something they are told, to accept something before understanding it?
I'm still having a hard time knowing if I can believe something without really understanding it (i know, we'll never fully understand anything). I've also been thinking quite a bit about what understanding, knowledge, and experience are, how they differ, how they relate, etc. Any thoughts?
