Sophistication does not come with the recognition of the role of conceptions, presuppositions, and frameworks in knowledge, but with an openness to the breadth of human experience of the world.
A great read, and I really appreciated this: 'If experience is reductively subjective, then it doesn’t even represent “my truth” or “your truth.” It just says something about me or you. It says nothing about how the world is, not even how “my world” or “your world” is.' Exactly: the statement "it's subjective" seems to suggest a deconstruction of something, and yet that only follows if the statement says something "true." That, or the statement "it's subjective" suggests something which cannot be challenged, but it's meaning requires others to acknowledge and understand. Anyway, the article was very rich, and I also really liked: 'Rather, sophistication comes with openness to the breadth of human experience and knowledge, a (not exclusively) Christian empiricism and humanism' - I completely agree.
