Brotherhood Beyond Politics: Finding Truth in Disagreement | Robert P. George & Cornel West

Описание: "If you love the truth more than your opinions, then you'll welcome those who disagree to challenge your opinions."

Robert P. George and Cornel West explore their deep friendship and brotherhood, built on mutual respect and a shared love for truth, despite political differences. George and West emphasize the importance of intellectual humility and openness to disagreement, which fosters growth and understanding. The danger in society, they argue, is that many people fall in love with their own opinions, preventing meaningful dialogue. True progress comes when we value truth over our own beliefs, welcoming challenges from others.
