In Praise of Prejudice

“Full of Theodore Dalrymple’s characteristic concision and stringent wit, In Praise of Prejudice will provoke, challenge, and forcibly compel even the most unwilling reader to question received ideas and contemporary pieties. It is sometimes hard to accept Dalrymple’s propositions, but it is impossible to dismiss them.”

Brooke Allen
author of Moral Minority: Our Skeptical Founding Fathers

 

“In this witty, beautifully written, and profound little book, Theodore Dalrymple shows us why prejudices are necessary to character and human flourishing, though it requires wisdom to know when to keep them, and when to leave them behind as destructive. There is no better essayist writing today, as In Praise of Prejudice proves.”

Brian C. Anderson
aditor of City Journal
