In the wake of the popularity of the NY Times article on McGinn, the Sunday Times has taken up the topic (most of the article is behind a paywall), with rather more mixed results. Their headline reads “I Think, Therefore I Spark A Sex Row.” Yeah, they’re not kidding with that one.
McGinn’s penchant for erudite wordplay, and his enthusiasm for complex intellectual argument, have complicated his attempts to defend a series of suggestive emails that he sent to the woman student, who complained about him to university authorities.
It has also exposed an apparent culture gap between a brilliant but slightly otherworldly British thinker and an American academic community gripped by political correctness and nervous of any form of sexual scandal.
Seriously?
