In Defense of Scrooge

 

by Michael Levin, professor of philosophy, City University of New York

 

    It's Christmas again, time to celebrate the transformation of

    Ebenezer Scrooge. You know the ritual: boo the curmudgeon

    initially encountered in Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol,

    then cheer the sweetie pie he becomes in the end. It's too bad

    no one notices that the curmudgeon had a point—quite a few

    points, in fact.
