Have them both offer their thoughts on something whether it be virtue ethics or moral relativism or political correctness. That way Peterson's following will get the right type of exposure to Feser and give Feser the credibility of sounding reasonable, relevant, and interesting before hearing things that Peterson's following have had no or little exposure to. Prep the waters so to speak. <br /><br />In pro-life dialogue (I do this for a living) we always try to establish common ground first from which we can then reasonably discuss our differences. Personal credibility is everything.

I suspect he might take a more psychological Jungian approach where God serves as a practical symbol of the Good, the righteous, the Truth. Whether or not God exists is probably a separate question, though I know Peterson says he's a Christian.

Your exchanges on this site are one of the reasons it's the best philosophy blog around and you are able to translate that to live shows which many (including myself!) would find hard to do. <br /><br />Patrick Coffin,<br /><br />How about a look at the liberal foundations that suuport current issues like transgenderism, abortion etc? I feel it would be right up Feser's ally considering his books TLS and Locke where he knows both the philosophical assumptions and historical contingency of the foundations for current liberalism. Peterson is obviously outspoken on TG. Also, i suspect Feser may mention the issue of essence/natures which would be worth the admission fee! <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954608646904080796.post-4217702371786627142017-08-09T01:09:34.417-07:002017-08-09T01:09:34.417-07:00Relativism, its adherents, and its horrid conseque...Relativism, its adherents, and its horrid consequences.
