Elbow- The Believing Game

In Peter Elbow's essay, "The Believing Game- Methodological Believing", he discusses how important it is question certain beliefs. He does this by explaining two ideas, one called the "believing game" and the other called "doubting game." The "believing game" is when we belief every idea brought up to us and the "doubt game" is when we are more skeptical of other ideas and question it. He states that it good to follow the believing game and to accept ideas rather than just to reject them, but to do this with a doubting game lens. This way we acknowledge the new idea as well as analyzing it through critical thinking. He concludes by saying that the methods together create the best way to analyze ideas and beliefs.
