You Tube Theology

Knox College’s Etz Family Institute for Civic Leadership and Dialogue hosted an evening discussion with Cornel West and Robert P. George. West is a progressive philosopher, social activist, and public intellectual, and the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Chair of Philosophy and Christian Practice at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. George, a conservative legal theorist, is the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and the Director of the James Madison Program in American Principles and Ideals at Princeton University.

Over the years, West and George have developed a strong friendship despite their deep and fundamental disagreements on important issues. Their conversation explored themes from their recent co-authored book, Truth Matters: A Dialogue on Fruitful Disagreement in an Age of Division. In that book, they discuss their disagreements on a range of social issues, and they reflect on the social conditions required for truth seeking.

The discussion was moderated by Associate Professor of Political Science Thomas Bell, who serves as the inaugural director of the Etz Family Institute. The event was hosted at the Central Congregational Church in Galesburg, Illinois.
