Blog Post  Clocks and cloudsPosted to Gurteen Knowledge-Log by David Gurteen on 23 December 2010 Person  Karl Popper (1902 - 1994) Austrian Born PhilosopherQuotation  On a readiness to learn by Karl Popper (1902 - 1994) Austrian Born PhilosopherQuotations from Karl Popper:  It is often asserted that discussion is only possible between people who have a common language and accept common basic assumptions.
I think that this is a mistake. All that is needed is a readiness to learn from one's partner in the discussion, which includes a genuine wish to understand what he intends to say. If this readiness is there, the discussion will be the more fruitful the more the partner's backgrounds differ. Karl Popper, (1902 - 1994) Austrian Born Philosopher
