DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Title:</strong> A Defence of Extremism</p>\n<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>Extremism is widely held to be a bad thing. Conventional wisdom holds that there is a growing problem of political extremism. There is now a large body of literature in psychology\, social science\, and philosophy \, addressing the causes of this so-called problem\, and suggesting ways to solve it. I argue that all of this is misguided. The <em>bien pensant</em> view\, which pervades our political culture\, according to which the term &lsquo\;extremist&rsquo\; refers to something objectionable\, is not only mistaken\; it is also extremely harmful\, since it directs our attention away from what should matter &ndash\; the content of people&rsquo\;s beliefs\, rather than their position on a spectrum of social acceptability.</p>\n<p>Join Zoom Meeting <br> <a href="https://deakin.zoom.us/j/82779609509?pwd=dE9WUnFJaTJCZkh5UnlyZi94ck9zUT09">https://deakin.zoom.us/j/82779609509?pwd=dE9WUnFJaTJCZkh5UnlyZi94ck9zUT09</a></p>\n<p>Meeting ID: 827 7960 9509 <br> Password: 21378685</p>
