"On the Conversation of Authors"

T'S TRUE THAT the likelihood of everybody agreeing on morality, politics, and religion is pretty slim. Disagreements on such topics are longstanding. Commitments and loyalties are fierce. To prosper, we need the peace that comes from mutual respect. But can I respect your ideas if I think they're wrong? And how can I know whether they're wrong if we don't discuss them?

You say you want peace, but it seems like you only want a cessation of hostilities. Real peace has to be built on some harmony of vision, not mutual disengagement (which leaves people separated and wary of each other). If we're to find this harmony of vision, you and I have to discuss our ideas openly.
