Discussing enduring human questions with clarity & charity
“Rarely a day goes by without a report of our inability to discuss our differences with clarity and charity: scholars are silenced, lectures interrupted, celebrities cancelled, lives and reputations destroyed by twitter trolling. Both within the university and broader civic culture, we are increasingly angry, addled, and alienated—so focused on what we believe to be the darkness or dimness in others, we can no longer see clearly ourselves.”
Seeking Truth, Goodness, and Beauty where they may be found
– Ian Church
“One of the most enduring and salient features of the Western philosophical tradition is its openness to disagreement and debate, its propensity to self-reflection, self-critique, and even self-doubt; not as a path toward skepticism or despair, but as a means of pursuing the truth.”
