サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In an age of division, Professor Jonathan Marks believes one way to cure that is through teaching the lost art of being reasonable.
In his latest book, Let's Be Reasonable, Marks lays out the "conservative case for liberal education" by showing the universities are still a great institution for learning and growth despite fears of academic censorship.
To be sure, Marks believes censorship and the lack of political diversity amongst academics are important. Nevertheless, universities remain an unrivalled intellectual ecosystem where you can challenge and learn from others.
Let's Be Reasonable begins with the philosophical origins of the importance of reasonability by way of John Locke as well as Alexis de Tocqueville and then proceeds to convincingly layout WHY it is so important to a healthy society throughout the book. Another a must-read!
