The main thing I liked about that article is that it introduced me to the concept of the "reasonable comprehensive doctrine" which now makes me want to read Rawls' Political Liberalism. It suggested itself to me as a possible framework within which I can partly explain my apparently burning need to problematise dialogue about prejudice (aside from the rather essentialist explanation that involves me being the privileged white guy).
It's a shame I am feeling the need to arm myself for battle as far as these issues are concerned but, there you have it. There's something in the discourse that rubs me the wrong way, and I've convinced myself it's not just the mildly unpleasant sensation of my social privileges being equalised.
