Finally finished the audiobook of Meditations I was listening to. Not sure that I caught everytging, but sure gives some food for thought. His assertion that all error and I think he extends this to all evil, comes from making judgements beyond our understanding. We ought to reserve judgement till we fully understand anything. I think I agree that much grief in this world is caused by ignorance, I wonder whether it may be more tha attitude of open mindedness to being proved wrong that is the solution than purely witholding assent. Certainly there are many times when we ought to withold assent, and too many people rush to judgement, but to make a judgement based on the evidence or arguments available, and then be willing to be proved wrong(as with Antony Flew) is sometimes what we must do. I think I need to revisit some lectures on Descartes from a few years ago.
