"We live in an age of ideology, propaganda, and tribalism. Political conformity is
enforced from many sides; the insidious social control that John Stuart Mill called
"the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling." Liberal or left-minded people
are often more afraid of each other than of their conservative or right wing opponents.
Social media and call-out-culture makes it easier to name, shame, ostracize and harass
non-conformists, and destroys careers and lives. How can we oppose this, regaining
freedom and our sense of ourselves as individuals? The Tyranny of Opinion identifies
the problem, defines its character, and proposes strategies of resistance. Russell
Blackford calls for an end to ideological purity policing and for recommitment to
the foundational liberal values of individual liberty and spontaneity, free inquiry,
diverse opinion, and honest debate" (From publisher's description)
