Abstract

Tradition tells of a radical thinker who started one day on a spring-clean of all his opinions. Till then, he had taken most of them on trust, but he now realized that some were evidently wrong. From now on, he resolved, all decisions would be down to him. He would choose for himself what he was going to believe.
