In the sentence, "another" and "the other" are the same, so "one ought to allow another's beliefs to be defined by the other" means simply that the other person should define their own beliefs.<br /><br />Sorry for being unclear. I will never be accused of using a few simple words to say something when a lot of words will confuse the issue just as well.David Garnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868519827605827991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-513288677190655743.post-29108823821762939722012-03-11T06:32:10.469-07:002012-03-11T06:32:10.469-07:00"I've said many times that one ought to a..."I've said many times that one ought to allow another's beliefs to be defined by the other." <br /><br />Did you perhaps mean "one ought NOT to allow"?Jim Huffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16666507238123326223noreply@blogger.com
