Abstract

Are we our opinions? Can opinions change without losing identity? Can opinions be changed by facts? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, Professor Matthew Gault's seminar descends into chaos when a discussion about opinions and facts turns personal. Gault seeks advice from two friends, Tom Bollon and Sidney Plover, who explain that people often hold their opinions as unimpeachable facts, creating a "religion-of-one." They discuss the dangers of this mindset, including the rejection of critical thinking and the inability to engage in constructive dialogue.
