Default Re: Intellectual Honesty

[ QUOTE ]
Convictions by necessity are a cessation in reason.

[/ QUOTE ]

By this definition, intellectual honesty is never possible, as you always have to stop somewhere, unless you plan to live forever. This also neglects that one can have convictions that you have differing degrees of reason for believing are true, if we are willing to accept a somewhat colloquial definition of conviction.
