A C Grayling – Making peace in the culture wars
8 December @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
A C Grayling’s book Discrimination: Making Peace in the Culture Wars takes the so-called “woke” side – but argues that the “woke” case is not best made by visiting the same oppressions on opponents as the latter have historically visited on minorities, women and people of alternative views and ways.
The key to the case is that culture conflict arises not between competing rights, but between interests and rights, that genuine and fully enacted respect for rights is the way to end discrimination of all kinds, and that the resulting situation would in the ideal be one of convivencia.
