On new public thinking
by Andrew Taggart
I’m now working with a wonderful group of eclectic, brilliant Life of the Minders at New Public Thinking, a loose organization devoted to the question: “What will public discourse and the public sphere look like–what should they look like–in the 21st C.?” Please have a look around. Start with my friend Dougald’s fine manifesto.
Developing people’s ability and willingness to listen, witness, and respond instead of hear, ignore, and react should be a first part of answering the question. Good luck!
