I think otherwise, in other way, in another way
"You see, gentlemen, I did not like his outward appearance, there was something dishonourable about it, his boasting and his flouting of every sacred thing, his mockery and unbelief, loathsome, loathsome! But now that he is dead, I think otherwise"

Can "I think otherwise" be rephrased as "I think in other way?", or "I think in another way?", or "I think differently?" Which is the closest meaning of "I think otherwise."?

Answer

Yes, exactly.  It is just another form of this idea.
