"Skepticism: the mark and even the pose of the educated mind"

- John Dewey

About this Quote

John Dewey recommends that skepticism is not just an attribute of an educated mind, but also a needed posture. In other words, a true education needs one to have a crucial and questioning attitude towards the world around them. By being skeptical, one is less most likely to accept info blindly and more likely to look for proof and facts to support their beliefs. Therefore, skepticism is not a negative trait, but rather a basic part of intellectual curiosity and progress.
