In terms of the search for truth, the most consequential distinction is not between those who are “technically” equipped to perceive the truth and those who are not; it is between those “who want to want the truth,” and those “who turn away from the truth” because their will does not want to strive after truth (Levy 1995, 211).9 Knowing adequately is not just a matter of what eyes, ears, and mind do, but also of what the “heart” does, not just a matter of perception but also of habits and practices.
