Having an open mind is not a goal or an end in itself. An open mind is also not itself a perfection; rather, it is a mind that is still searching — searching for objective truth, which is the true object of the intellect.

He classified these educational objectives into three “domains:” Affective (attitude), Psychomotor (skills), and Cognitive (knowledge).
