KINDLY INQUISITORS
From the book "Kindly Inquisitors" by Jonathan Rauch 1993.
From the book "Kindly Inquisitors: The New Attacks on Free THought" by Jonathan Rauch 1993:
Schools should teach knowledge (claims that have been thoroughly checked by no person or group in particular).
We benefit from living in a society rich with prejudices, energize and debate. Attempts to stamp out prejudice kills science.
Good criticism drives out bad. You must persuade others.
A no-offense society is a no-knowledge society.
Science teaches us to doubt and criticize.
