Why Critical Thinking is Dead - Peter Boghossian

Published: Feb. 7, 2024, 7 p.m.

Peter Boghossian is an American philosopher. For ten years he was a professor of philosophy at Portland State University, but resigned following the college\u2019s response to \u2018the grievance studies affair\u2019. This entailed Boghossian - alongside James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose - submitting bogus papers to peer-reviewed publications related to gender studies and other similar disciplines, in order to satirise the poor academic quality of such fields. More recently Boghossian has been engaging in what he calls, \u2018street epistemology\u2019 where he encourages people in public places to examine their opinions, why they hold them, and what it would take for them to change their minds.\nCheck out his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@drpeterboghossian\n\nWe are proud partners with GiveSendGo - a world-leading crowdfunding platform that believes in free speech.
