We are all of us apt to take certain general ideas for granted， and call them mon sense. We should learn that other people have held quite different ideas， and that our own have started as very original guesses of philosophers. [an error occurred while processing this directive] A scientist is apt to think that all the problems of philosophy will ultimately be solved by science. I think this is true for a great many of the questions on which philosophers still argue. For example， Plato thought that when we saw something， one ray of light came to it from the sun， and another from our eyes and that seeing was something like feeling with a stick. We now know that the light es from the sun， and is reflected into our eyes. We don39。s fatal return. Investigators believe breakaway insulating foam damaged part of Columbia39。s hearing. Gehman plained managers and administrators “missed signals” when they rejected those offers for images， a pointedly harsh assessment of the space agency39。s wing any damage， which Gehman said could have been as small as two inches square.

They do far less blaming of the individual than do Americans， he added. In studies of interpersonal argument， for example， when subjects were asked to deal with contradictory information stemming from conflict between a mother and a daughter or a student and a school， Peng found that Americans were “nonpromising， blaming one side— usually the mother— for the causes of the problems， demanding changes from one side to attain a solution and offering no promise” in dealing with the conflict. 43） In tests of scientific thinking， however， the Chinese came up short. Asked to determine which statement was true— whether， for instance， smoking makes people gain or lose weight— Chinese respondents took the middle road， even when they believed one statement to be less true than another. 44） He believes that this tendency to find the middle way has hampered Chinese efforts to seek out scientific truth through aggressive argumentation， the classic Western method for fing a linear path through contradictory information， which results in identifying right and wrong answers.
