Consider + that

"A central thesis presented in the introduction is that the unrestricted use of rea-son leads to polarized positions that, although being conflicting, share a commit-ment: they consider that some radical choices —such as “either absolute moral standards exist or there is no such thing as morality” and “either something is cer-tain or nothing is even probable”— are not only intelligible, but also compelling and unavoidable."

Is it true that in English it sounds awkward to use "consider + that" in the way I've done it above? Should I rather say:

"they consider some radical choices (...) to be not only intelligible, but also compelling and unavoidable." ?
