Reporting, truth and rationality
In his closing remarks in his 1987 book “Whose Justice? Whose rationality?”, Alasdair Macintyre wrote “the only rational way for the adherents of any tradition to appraach intellectually, culturally and linguistically alien rivals is one that allows for the possibility that in one or more areas the other may be rationally superior to it in respect precisely of that in the alien tradition which it cannot as yet comprehend.”
The inability of Western reporting to cover events in good faith derives from the irrational belief that the world revolves around North America and Western Europe, very similar to the medieval belief that the Sun revolves around the Earth. Perhaps the imminent strategic defeat the West is about to suffer in Ukraine will revolutionize that failure of rationality for the better.
