I matriculated to Emory University in 1963-67. That school had then --- and still does have --- the picture of a Renaissance Person being produced. They have opted out of a massive sports programs in favor of more pure education. Their model now is to have an International student body by 1/4 in number.
As the professor cites --- their method is Socratic = asking questions until the student has a sense of "what makes sense to me at this time." In my day, as well as now, they invite to their faculty world figures of basic experience to expose students to differing world views and concepts --- then the student is widely exposed to many things not thought nor seen prior to coming to Emory.
To get an "A" in my day required I examine any issue from, at least 2 dialectic sides --- then present at the end of the paper "What I have as "my view" and the reason for it~~~whatever that view might be. It is not based on making students into "liberals or conservatives."
The Renaissance was a period following the Dark Ages when science and rational investigation of all things began. You made a proposition and then began to study it and prove it for "correct or incorrect." The process never ended as the student/thinker pursued TRUTH. What I assumed to be TRUE from my small town conservative religious upbringing near Atlanta turned into a quest which I still pursue to evaluate all things in light of WHAT IS PROVEN TO BE TRUE AND WHAT WORKS.
Today we seem to have little automatons addicted to sports and games whose "win" is based on trying, failing, and keeping on trying --- to beat the computer program. The obsession with sports and winning is addictive and seems to eliminate a moral core in decision making. It is like the law which sets a basis for lawful society --- with too many shades of grey, in turn making Defense Attorneys and Juries prone to confusion. Instead of deciding Right from Wrong behaviour, you play the game of I MUST WIN AT ALL COSTS TO TRUTH.
Thanks for the challenging concepts you are sharing. Some of which are inspiring---others of which are troubling by setting Conservatism as the goal . . .
