Faith and Partiality

You need great faith to do a thesis. When you have been playing epistemic games for so long and you still don't have a framework to advance forward. You need faith that the moves you make now will eventually lead to something greater.

You need great partiality to do thesis. When your first reaction when reading a scholar's work is disgust, you need to remove yourself from your ideological box, to read the work without bias and come to a fair conclusion.
