Reply to comment by TAMiiNATOR in Philosophy has never been the detached pursuit of truth. It’s always been deeply invested in its own cultural perspective. by IAI_Admin
I’m sorry, it was many years ago that I took it and I don’t have the material anymore. Now that I am thinking about it again though I am kind of interested in pursuing that information again. One thing I do remember is that it was taught by someone who was a minor celebrity (might be the wrong term for semi famous in the field) named Peter Boghossian. Looking up about him now I see that he kinda got forced out of the university a couple years ago by being too controversial. I am currently reading through his interview about it: https://dartreview.com/an-interview-with-peter-boghossian/

I got as far as him saying antifa was destroying Portland to remember that just because you're a philosopher doesn't mean you know Jack shit about politics or in this case the facts of what actually happened.
He's the guy who taught how to overcome one's biases?

Maybe he's right and you're actually the one that's biased? No, no, that couldn't be it 🤔

Given the facts around what happened in Portland he's the biased one.
