Point/Counterpoint: Philosophers Debate Contemporary Issues

Pages:

Description:

Friedman challenges the response to hate speech codes, disputes the supposed pre-eminence of the Western canon and champions "thick multiculturalism" over a "thin global diversity" approach. Narveson argues that the equality of person invisaged in "classical" liberalism is the genuine article.

Synopsis:

Two prominent philosophers here engage in a forthright debate over some of the centrally disputed topics in the political correctness controversy now taking place on college campuses across the nation, including feminism, campus speech codes, the western canon, and the nature of truth. Friedman and Narveson conclude the volume with direct replies to each other's positions.
