Jordan Peterson: Difference between revisions

Jordan gained criticism from other academics with regards to his narrative about broad philosophical schools that emerged during a time when there was a decline in the institutional foundations of moral objectivism among the Western population.  Philosophers who agree with Jordan about college-campus New Left types and political correctness, such as Hegelian philosopher Slajov Zizek were the most prominent in their criticism.  In a broadcasted debate, Zizek accused Peterson of a-historical alarmism.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsHJ3LvUWTs</ref>  He accused Jordan of injecting motives and beliefs into philosophies where there are none, ignoring the contempt post-modernists had towards Marxists, and propagating false conspiracy theories about constructionism and relativism being a Marxist or, "radical leftist", plot to destabilize the West.  Jordan is criticized as confusing opinions of, "is", with, "ought".  He is criticized as mis-characterizing philosophical schools which address widespread non-objectivity as saying there '''should''' be widespread non-objectivity, or that there should be a death of God.
