It’s said that Socrates would argue both sides of any subject & was able to present equally salient reasons for each side. This was one of the reasons he was called wise. In addition to the sources above, I’d also recommend Adam Grant’s book “Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know”. Daniel Kahneman said the following about it - "Brilliant... guaranteed to make you rethink your opinions and your most important decisions." We seem to be losing the capacity for respectful conversations which welcome heterodoxic views, which was the foundation of higher education.
