O futuro da democracia e o papel das universidades
Full story
The article takes up the future of democracy and the role universities play in it. Its central point is that a healthy democracy is not one in which everyone agrees, but one in which people manage to keep talking even when they disagree profoundly. In that reading, the willingness to keep the conversation going across deep divides matters more than uniform agreement.
Uma democracia saudável não é aquela em que todos concordam, mas aquela em que conseguimos continuar a conversar, mesmo quando discordamos profundamente.
