And how did that work in the civil rights movement? Did we have "perspectives"? There was truth which was experienced, then communicated.

What does this mean? Didn't societal values change towards the liberal principle of equal rights, freedoms and opportunities?

America is mixture of: 1. Enlightenment ideals 2. Original sins (race, etc.) We only progress on #2 when we listen to others' truths.

Slavery/race = America's national sin. Clearest way have not lived to our ideals. How did/do we improve? Listening to other perspectives.

Well, it matters what they are. That's the important bit. You extended human rights to everyone because your values became more liberal.

And you certainly don't need postmodernism to listen to other perspectives. You can just do that & then evaluate them factually & ethically.

Cognitive psych (&, relatedly, 2 Econ Nobels) would not suggest you have access to that kind of factual evaluation.

Very limited individually, yes. This is why the process of exchange of ideas among ppl with diverse viewpoints is so valuable.

OK. To Steven's points, whose diverse viewpoints are heard? Are my students' views weighed as much as mine? In theory, yes. In practice, no.
