Platform Video: Idealism, Pragmatism and Politics

The following ECS/Bergen Platform address was delivered on Sunday, November 1, 2009, by Dr. Joseph Chuman (introduced by Ed Gross):

Idealism, Pragmatism and Politics from Ethical Culture Society Bergen on Vimeo.

President Obama is a pragmatist “in the colloquial meaning of the word,” says Dr. Chuman. “There are certainly benefits to being a pragmatist. But as a product of a more idealistic age, I can’t help but wonder whether something is lost as well.” Joe will explore these issues further in his Platform address.

Dr. Joseph Chuman, Leader of the Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County.
