Summary
RETHINK RHETORIC—AN ETHICAL RATHER THAN A SCIENTISM-BASED FOUNDATION FOR OUR HIGH SCHOOLS. Scientific questions on matters of public concern dominate the public sphere, but those arguments most often take much for granted about the nature of justice and the good. This workshop concerns differentiating scientific from ethical questions and getting our students to focus on the ethical questions as they approach matters of public concern.
