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 make it easier to name, shame, ostracize, and harass non-conformists, destroying careers and lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow can we oppose this, regaining freedom and our sense of ourselves as individuals? \u003ci\u003eThe Tyranny of Opinion\u003c\/i\u003e identifies the problem, defines its character, and proposes strategies of resistance. Russell Blackford calls for an end to ideological purity policing and for recommitting to the foundational liberal values of individual liberty and spontaneity, free inquiry, diverse opinion, and honest debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000821956844,"sku":"9781350056008","price":62.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/18472363482668.jpg?v=1763307433"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/series-think-now.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
