Sapere Aude - enlightenment values and academic cancel culture

Conference or workshop item

Beighton, C. 2021. Sapere Aude - enlightenment values and academic cancel culture.
AuthorsBeighton, C.
Description

While some claim that “…Western philosophy, for which the subject-object dialectic, the Cartesian viewpoint, and the absolute I-know-it-all attitude still hold massive sway”, “Cartesian doubt is a systematic process of being skeptical about the truth of one's beliefs”. This presentations asks why Enlightenment thought continues to be so misrepresented.
