Deen Chatterjee, Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Utah is featured in Healing the Great Divide; Mission Impossible?. The ideological divide of liberalism/conservatism has become a moral wedge in today's political culture, polarizing the country and undermining the prospect of a robust public reason vital to a flourishing democracy. Through an examination of key topics of current relevance, this talk will look at the social, cultural and political realities of the divide, assessing the role of civic dialogue for public policy debates and attempting to reframe the terms of the debate to heal the divide. The forum will explore the traditional paradigms of liberalism and conservatism and their limits in responding to the pluralistic challenges of the 21st century. It will look for a substantive and resilient liberalism to see if liberalism can accommodate the demands of political and religious conservatism without filtering itself of its normative pronouncements as a precondition for public deliberation.
