I had an interesting comment exchange on another blog recently about this concept of absolute truth where I proposed the idea that absolute truth was totally dependent on your own worldview. And because there are a multitude of possible worldviews, then that would make the concept of "absolute truth" an impossibility. Well, that's the amateur philosopher in me coming out! So dangerous beliefs are ones that don't allow for any change, any alternative, any need for further thought. This is important territory to cover as the digital flood of conflicting and multiple view-pointed information continues unabated - we need to ensure that the students we teach can think for themselves and evaluate information against their own worldview, whilst being aware and deliberately conscious of others' worldviews.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
