| Abstract | This article examines the climate problem for women and minorities in philosophy. It argues the social environment shapes how individuals see themselves and their standing. Examples of issues include unequal treatment in class and dismissing marginalized topics as “unphilosophical.” The author advocates becoming aware of how our actions affect others, correcting negative habits, and calling out poor behavior. Crucially, even in an adversarial field, the climate still matters. It determines whose arguments are taken seriously and who judges them. For the adversarial process to work properly, diverse perspectives must have equal standing in making and judging arguments. Otherwise, only majority groups shape the conception of truth.
