Some people present for the talk melted down when confronted by Swinburne\u2019s view. The president of the SCP, Michael Rea, apologized for all the butthurt caused by the discussion of Christian ideas in a gathering of Christian philosophers. But when word of the controversy got out to the broader philosophy community, some prominent philosophers reacted with anger \u2014 at Swinburne\u2019s defenders, and those who were angry that the SCP president had apologized for Swinburne\u2019s speech. Among the critics was Georgetown\u2019s Rebecca Kukla<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

So Swinburne, one of the world\u2019s most prominent philosophers, is guilty of \u201chate\u201d and \u201cprivilege,\u201d as are his defenders \u2014 this, according to Kukla, a Georgetown philosopher who is also senior researcher at the Jesuit university\u2019s Kennedy School of Ethics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, Kukla went on to post the following comment \u2014 now deleted \u2014 on the Facebook page of Yale philosopher Jason Stanley, under a remark in which he denounced Swinburne and his defenders this: \u201cF\u2013k you, assholes.\u201d Said the editor-in-chief of the Kennedy Institute\u2019s ethics journal:<\/span><\/p>\n

I apologize to readers for offense caused by the coarse language here, but it\u2019s important to know exactly what passes for critical discourse among academic progressives near the top of the philosophy profession \u2014 especially given that the statement has disappeared down the memory hole.<\/span><\/p>\n
