Description
Summary:“A university composed of narrative-formed communities would simultaneously acknowledge the diversity involved in moral debate and inquiry, while, at the same time, respecting the sources upon which competing claims are based. Public moral discourse would be something more than a forum in which individuals offer their injunctions to ‘be reasonable’ or ‘be good,’ for there would emerge a more extended argument over contexts within which these slogans emerge. A public context would be restored in which partial intellectual, religious, and moral claims would have some larger reference point.”
