      Hmm. What do we think of this? I'm inclined to think identifying postmodern content in university courses is not an unethical thing to do. Could be very useful.http://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-friday-edition-1.4396970/u-of-t-profs-alarmed-by-jordan-peterson-s-plan-to-target-classes-he-calls-indoctrination-cults-1.4396974 …

      I don't think it constitutes harassment to identify course content. And it could be used by students & parents who wanted pomo based studies as well as those who wanted to avoid them.

          there's a diff between cautionary warning & critique of poor epistemology & calling academics evil people with sinister motivations while foaming at the mouth, he's the wrong person to deliver this, & yes, it will lead to harassment. See some of his followers behavior on twitter.

          ps: no problem with clear, objective statement of contents, like fire does for free speech codes. it's useful for students.

          Interesting. A@d his reference to knowledge as it were as “what is useful” (to survive in an environment) isn’t all that diff from Rorty.

          Is it really necessary? I think we all know the phony courses. I've told my kids they pay for any course with the word "studies" in it.

          If there was a reputable measure that rated courses on epistemological and ideological content, I would make use of it, yes. Find one which allowed me to use science and unorthodox views in my work.

          I can’t see any basic problem with making the content of a course clear to the public, and let them choose or avoid as a result. To object seems to be admitting a desire to “slip” content in under the radar.

          The left seem happy to identify content they consider “problematic” in courses. Seems hypocritical to object when the other side does the same.

          I mean Sam Harris couldn't even get him to admit there were facts or truth separate from their out come. He's a total postmodernist.

          Hysterics reminiscent of the reaction to @RealPeerReview. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and the charlatans pushing postmodernism know it

          This seems to treat postmodernism as a more discrete thing than it is. How do we separate postmodernism from other critical philosophies?
