Graduate Education Forum
September 24, 2008 @ 12:00 PM
Food Services Building (Z-6), Hubbard Dining Room
Presenter: Dr. Thomas Hynes, Vice President for Academic Affairs
Topic: "Common ground or Battlefield? Political Argument and Valuing Dissensus" David Horowitz (2000) argues that politics should be viewed as war. Participants in political discourse should be defined as friends or enemies, and arguments should be viewed largely as weapons to be used in such wars. Such a position makes valuing dissensus and a search for common ground naive at best and counterproductive or useless at worst. This presentation will explore the nature of Horowitz' position and the future search for common ground necessary for the valuing of dissensus."
