反身代名詞

- We should try to make ourselves more comfortable

轉承詞

with controversial ideas because it's important

We can never know for sure when we're mistaken.

- It's quite possible that we are all agreed

on things that we believe to be true, that are false,

and if we prevent them being critically examined

and scrutinized and prevent people putting arguments

against them, we are not going to discover

which of our beliefs are false and which of them are true.

I founded the "Journal of Controversial Ideas"

that could be openly and freely discussed.

in which she accepted the idea that people

who wish to be transgender should be able to identify

as a gender different from that with which they were born-

but she asked the question, if people can do that

with gender, why can't they do that with regard to race?

who had not been descended from African ancestry,

in the United States that was helping Blacks

And when it was exposed that she was not really Black,

she lost her position and there was a lot of condemnation.

And in fact, a lot of that condemnation came

of anybody to identify as a gender different from that

So simply for raising that question about trans-racialism,

there was a petition to the journal calling for it

and criticizing the editors for publishing it.

who was an untenured philosophy professor at that time.

and an appropriate response for those who disagreed

would've been to show why they thought it was wrong.

to us to be completely the wrong reaction.

It seems like university administrations have been very weak

in standing up to defend academic freedom.

of university administrations following a Twitter storm

of their professors having said something seemed to us

would stop publishing controversial ideas.

So we thought it would be good to have a journal

so people are not biased, and then publish good articles.

And if the authors did not want to put their name on it,

against the controversial articles that we receive

that they are going to harm disadvantaged

But against that, we weigh the importance

and the importance of an issue doesn't disappear

of how best to refute the things that people have said.

In the early 19th century, Jeremy Bentham,

for anyone to have sex with someone of their own sex.

because he felt that to publish them at that time

and the early English Utilitarians wanted to do-

so those essays remained unpublished until this century.

Maybe if they had been more open to controversial ideas
