Hill Jr. and Boxill (2001, pp. 470-471)
“Listening to others with different viewpoints, different emotions and attitudes, and consequently different blind spots, is a beginning but it is not enough. The confident and complacent do not listen sympathetically to those they feel to be their inferiors, even when they invite these inferiors to speak. Somehow, we must design institutions that will help us to listen to others sympathetically. Morally relevant facts that are obscure to us may be vivid to others, and if we listen to them sympathetically, these facts may be vivid to us too"
