Y:
The true Enlightenment thinker, the true rationalist, never wants to talk anyone into anything. No, he does not even want to convince; all the time he is aware that he may be wrong. Above all, he values the intellectual independence of others too highly to want to convince them in important matters. He would much rather invite contradiction, preferably in the form of rational and disciplined criticism. He seeks not to convince but to arouse — to challenge others to form free opinions.

Drowning:Y：
真正的启蒙思想家，真正的理性主义者，从不想与任何人谈论任何事情。不，他甚至不想说服;他一直都知道他可能是错的。最重要的是，他非常重视他人的知识分子独立性，无法在重要事项上说服他们。他宁愿邀请矛盾，最好是以理性和纪律批评的形式。他力图说服但不要说服 - 挑战别人形成自由意见。
卡尔波普尔。论自由。 1958年。
