Two leading public intellectuals and dear friends--one progressive, one conservative--explore What is Truth? and Why Does Truth Matter? In Truth Matters, Cornel West and Robert P. George address a range of social issues on which Americans today are bitterly divided. Their book models robust intellectual engagement and civil discourse as they explore vital questions surrounding the idea of truth and its foundational role in our lives. Along the way, they reflect on social conditions--such as respect for freedom of speech--that must be established and maintained if truth is to be seriously pursued. They also explore the virtues--such as intellectual humility and courage--that must be acquired and practiced if we frail, fallible, fallen human beings are to be determined truth seekers and bold truth speakers.
