Arthur,

Wouldn't you know it?

You almost repeated - word for word - what Henry George said in
1878.
Great minds think alike!
[snip]

Is that an empirical assertion or a matter of
definition?
If only the person who think alike in a certain
way are great, then all great minds think alike.
But if one considers Newton (or Einstein or
von Neumann) and Husserl (or Rabelais
or Erasmus) to
both be great minds, then clearly they do not think alike,
for the questions each addresses have little to do
with the questions the other addresses, like a conversation
between birds and fishes or whatever the cliche is.
Do great minds ever concurrently ask the
same or similar questions and come to very
incompatible conclusions?  And, further, does
this ever happen in such a way that the
disagreeing parties atually have
a meaningful dialog about their disagreement (as
opposed to talking past each other)?
