| Bias |
A mental leaning or inclination. We must clearly distinguish two different senses of the word ’’bias’’. One is neutral the other negative. In the neutral sense we are referring simply to the fact that because of one's point of view one notices some things rather than others emphasizes some points rather than others and thinks in one direction rather than others. This is not in itself a criticism because thinking within a point of view is unavoidable. In the negative sense we are implying blindness or irrational resistance to weaknesses within one's own point of view or to the strength or insight within a point of view one opposes.
