Dear C, B, lists - Scares me as well - is this really so widespread among philosophy students? Why don't they study sociology instead, then? And why should we be "culturally sensitive" at all? We have only reached to where we are now by being INsensitive to a lot of cultural ideas - including theocracy, witchhunt, absolutism, inquisition, clan rule, feudalism, totalitarianism, just to take a few highlights from the European tradition … "Open-minded" sounds better to me - if it does not mean one is obliged to accept everything … Best F

"[...] first-year philosophy students, most of whom come in thinking that some kind of social constructivism is the only educated or open-minded or ‘culturally sensitive’ view of the world – I am currently being reminded" Some have said here that Stan's kind of social constructivism is an extreme kind. Is that the kind that you mean? Best, Ben
