Iis there a non-didactic imagination - a liminal place where we might all agree on: eg Trump/Obama, Brexit/Remainians
However there is an incomensurability of different people’s
view of happiness and value. with little presence of a foundation principle.
It is on some interest that the most poignant critics of utopia are those those who have become disillusioned by a youthful/student ideal, ie the older generation.
Jeremy Bentham advocated the utilitarian pragmatism of the greatest happiness for the greates numbe; but we return to a foundation principle;
conservative ideologues accuse liberal educationalists ideologues replacing education with
indoctrination, the loss of canonical texts; trendy methodologies; no value is better than any other, reasons liberatory power; diverstity tolerance et al,
the repost of the liberal to this if you have a counter view is: 'you are beneath contempt.'
the repost of the liberal to this if you have a counter view is: 'you are beneath contempt.'
To this failure of concensus of left/rigth could there not be a cultural mosaic under which they both operate? But that is a Utopian suggestion, the naivety of the idealist.
Still patience, it might come, in the meantime let us be banal
