So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter. (Isaiah 59:14)



I am a sixty-six-year-old philosophy professor who has logged thousands of hours in the classroom and elsewhere discussing some of the great issues of the ages. Consider an approach to teaching and writing that I have practiced ever since I went to college and especially since I received my degrees in philosophy and began to teach and write strenuously and prolifically. This approach is not unique to me, but part of the great Western intellectual tradition—until recently. If we lose it, we lose much of value—even truth itself. If we lose it, the culprit will be sensitivity.
