In Defense of Nuance

by Magnus Vinding

Overview

We appear to find ourselves in a crisis of polarization and failed communication. What can we do about it?

This essay argues that part of the solution may be to aspire for more nuanced and balanced perspectives, by engaging charitably with many different viewpoints. The essay then turns to some contentious issues — including sex discrimination, intersectionality, and political correctness — in an attempt to identify some ways in which greater nuance might help advance our views and discussions on these matters.
