Born in Switzerland, raised in Germany, trained in Texas, Stan Husi has been teaching for over a decade at the nation’s top terminal MA program at the university of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. With humor and wit, he strives to bring greater view-point diversity, sense of community, and an appreciation of philosophical issues in a wider socio-political context.
Husi seeks to understand what went wrong with the recent moral panic we witnessed: Particularly, what is the role, if any, deeper moral dynamics play in generating what he calls Puritan excesses. His core thesis is that those excesses are not entirely a fluke, not entirely exogenous, but somewhat endogenous, to more common moral dynamics.
