Scholarship

What I've Learned from Jordan Peterson

December 4, 2017

I've come to appreciate Jordan Peterson. It's rare for me to find a recent scholar from whom I learn more than one or two important things. Peterson is an exception. 

Edit: Everything I've said below remains true, but as I read Peterson's books and listened to some of his podcasts, I realized that there were things going on with his worldview and poltical aims that were unsavory to say the least. I'll leave the post up in the interests of showing that you can learn from people with whom you radically disagree.
