This course focuses on the ideas and practices necessary to analyze arguments and disagree in a productive and compassionate way, especially at a time of deep polarization in American culture.

Kudos to them for attempting to pull this off!

I'm glad the author gave props to the teachers who, apparently, were able to guide the effort successfully.

It's a RARE thing in today's academia, that's for sure!

As an aside, I'm recently interested in a book that examines "how we got here". I very much enjoyed reading the excellent reviews on Amazon:

"The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self:
Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution"
Carl R. Trueman

(lots of really smart people out there - and they're paying attention!)
