RLG101H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Socratic Dialogue, Educational Entertainment, Road Rage
Document Summary
For example, the american conservative commentator ben shapiro, who is a target of a recent contrapoints video, has made facts don"t care about your feelings his motto. Here, wynn takes her cues from socrates, who was famous for publicly exposing the ignorance of men who thought themselves wise. Latest contrapoints video- the apocalypse : dramatizes how people with progressive beliefs often fail to change minds on an issue, even when they have all the basic moral and empirical facts on their side. Doctor forces marie to watch a video-within-a-video that makes a well-reasoned case for serious action on climate change. But marie is frustrated: you want me to go vegan, drive a prius, and vote democrat. And justice? : reference to greek pederasty is crude but with deeper meaning: wynn shares socrates"s view that persuasion, desire, and reason are inextricably related, socrates knew that anyone who wishes to win minds must also win hearts.
