       [center]Letter to a Left-Wing Jesuit
       By Walter E. Block[/center]
       [font=times new roman]Below, see the letter I wrote to the
       President of my university, Loyola New Orleans, on 1/23/16. He
       has not answered this, nor do I expect him to do so. Let me
       offer a bit of background on this matter, so that the letter can
       appear in context. I was interviewed by the NYTimes for the
       (hit) story they did on Rand Paul. I was trying to explain
       libertarianism to the person interviewing me. I tried and tried,
       but did not succeed in getting across to him the basics of this
       philosophy. Finally, out of desperation, I tried to illustrate
       the non-aggression principle (NAP) to him in the most dramatic
       way possible. I used the example of slavery, an abomination if
       ever there was one. I tried to get to the essence of why this
       institution is despicable. Is it because they picked cotton? No.
       Is it because they ate gruel? No. Is it because they sang songs
       in the field? Again no. Then, why oh why was slavery such an
       atrocious evil? It was because they were forced into this
       situation, and could not quit. To underscore this, I said
       something to the effect that if we were to keep intact all of
       these peripheral elements of slavery (cotton, gruel, songs,
       living in a shack) but delete the one true evil, that it
       violated the libertarian law of free association, then “slavery
       would not be so bad.”  As a result, the NY Times accused me of
       saying that actual slavery, not this hypothetical I had
       concocted in order to make a point, was “not so bad.”
       Whereupon Fr. Wildes, S.J., the president of Loyola University
       New Orleans, wrote a letter to the editor of the student
       newspaper, the Maroon, condemning me for supporting slavery.
       (In a separate letter, 17 of my faculty colleagues wrote along
       similar lines.) This man, Fr. Wildes, did not have the decency
       to even ask me about this matter before rushing into print. I
       tell you, were I the president of a university, and one of my
       professors was quoted in the NY Times as having supported actual
       slavery, I wouldn’t have flown off the handle and immediately
       published an attack. Instead, I would have asked this faculty
       member of mine to come to my office for a little chat. I would
       have started off with “Please, please, tell me you were
       misquoted.” If so, I would have supported him against the
       “newspaper of record.”  On the other hand, if this professor was
       accurately quoted, and really favored slavery and its
       reintroduction, I would have fired him on the spot, tenure or no
       tenure.  Fr. Wildes, SJ, did neither.  With this introduction,
       here is that letter.
       Dear Fr. Wildes, SJ:
       In the last few minutes of your speech on Friday, 1/22/16 at our
       annual convocation, you said something to the effect that (in my
       paraphrase) you would “strive mightily to always interpret other
       people’s statements in the most positive way possible and
       reasonable; you would give a sympathetic interpretation of what
       others say or write.” I applaud you for this statement. I always
       try to do this in my own writings and speeches, and, often, I
       even succeed. I also greatly regret it when I do not. I think
       this principle you have today articulated is one all scholars
       should follow. Again, in my paraphrase, “Do not attack straw
       men.” When you criticize others, do so for their views in their
       most compelling versions, not their weakest.  I think you have
       been “channeling” some of  the words of a hero of mine, John
       Stuart Mill (from his “On Liberty), who said: “He who knows only
       his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may
       be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he
       is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if
       he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for
       preferring either opinion… Nor is it enough that he should hear
       the opinions of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as
       they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as
       refutations. He must be able to hear them from persons who
       actually believe them…he must know them in their most plausible
       and persuasive form.”
       As you can see, this statement of yours moved me.
       In view of this perspective of yours that you recently
       articulated, would you please consider making a public apology
       to me for publishing in the Maroon a statement to the effect
       that I favored slavery (based on hearsay “evidence” from the
       NYTimes); you did so without even first asking me about this.
       I intend to share this letter, and any response you might give
       me, or none, with others.
       Best regards, Walter Block
