Respecting Others’ Value Propositions

From the above reasoning, I propose that theories always exist in an intermediate state—neither absolutely true nor absolutely fallacious—and we cannot assert a theory’s absolute truth or fallacy. Based on this, when facing different theories, we should shift from debating their absolute truth or fallacy to exploring their adaptability. When others present their views or theories, we should not only analyze them logically but also avoid rashly declaring their absolute fallacy or attacking them without due consideration. Instead, we should calmly explore the adaptability value of their views or theories in their specific contexts, addressing questions like “Why do they hold this view?”, “Why do they follow this theory?”, and “What factors do they consider?” This places us in a state of respecting others’ value propositions, fostering a broader, more open mindset that embraces diverse views and theories while maintaining a friendly, harmonious atmosphere.
