Nov. 14 | "Could better democracy require less political action?" with POPCO| 4:30-5:30PM
Philosopher Robert Talisse has argued in recent writings that intense political action can lead to belief polarization and worse democratic practices. The solution is for citizens to get some "social distance from the political fray." This month we'll discuss Talisse's arguments as he presents them in his online essay
"The Need for Socially Distanced Citizens."
Join us for a participant-driven discussion of this provocative essay! Visit this link: https://sites.google.com/view/berthoud-philosophy/home for the reading materials and to register.
