Culture War 2.0: Truth, Realism, and the Defense of Science
https://argumentninja.com
In this video Kevin deLaplante discusses Peter Boghossian's essay "Welcome to Culture War 2.0: The Great Realignment".
I focus attention on the way Boghossian defines one of the new cultural fault lines in terms of competing attitudes toward truth, objectivity and evidence. He calls it the "correspondence theory of truth", but I take issue with the label and the diagnosis (on this particular issue).
