Being open to persuasion can help show respect for an interlocutor. At the same time, open-mindedness about morally objectionable claims can carry moral as well as epistemic risks. Our aim in this paper is to specify when there might be duty to be open to persuasion. We distinguish two possible interpretations of openness. First, openness might refer to a kind of mental state, wherein one is willing to revise or abandon present beliefs. Second, it might refer to a deliberative practice, according to which one is willing to engage with opposing reasons. We suggest these two interpretations are conceptually and empirically distinct. Once disambiguated, we suggest that different contexts may make different forms of openness appropriate as expressions of respect.

我们什么时候应该接受说服?

对说服持开放态度有助于表达对对话者的尊重。同时,对道德上令人反感的主张持开放态度可能会带来道德和认知风险。我们在本文中的目的是指定何时可能有义务接受说服。我们区分了两种可能的开放性解释。首先,开放性可能是指一种精神状态,在这种状态下,人们愿意修正或放弃目前的信念。其次,它可能指的是一种深思熟虑的做法,根据这种做法,人们愿意提出相反的理由。我们建议这两种解释在概念上和经验上是不同的。一旦消除歧义,我们建议不同的环境可能使不同形式的开放适合作为尊重的表达。
