<p>Characterized by historic commitments to egalitarianism, the
political left implicitly positions itself as moral educator to the
public at large. As presently conceived, however, this enterprise has
become antiquated. As decent durable jobs become scarcer and individuals
more economically disposable, human identities are becoming more fluid,
disconnecting from their erstwhile vocational anchors. In this context,
the political left's educative capacity is structurally limited by its
reluctance to confront its own philosophical contingencies, as its field
of action is increasingly drained of shared comprehensive conceptions.
In this setting of collective meaning deficit, an overly thin
egalitarian imaginary is guaranteed to fail long-term. Yet public
education in the grand sense is not impossible. This lecture describes
several possibilities for the needed reconstruction.</p></dd></dl></div></div></div><br></div></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>Peace mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Peace@lists.chambana.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Peace@lists.chambana.net</a><br><a href="https://lists.chambana.net/mailman/listinfo/peace" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://lists.chambana.net/mailman/listinfo/peace</a><br></div>
