An entirely original approach to tolerance and freedom of conscience for people today. This is a pugnacious book arguing that society is dominated by a culture which often encourages intolerance, particularly over cultural values and lifestyle choices. From the author of "Culture Of Fear, Invitation To Terror" and "Paranoid Parenting". *Also appeared in August's Buyer's Notes*
Synopsis
Outwardly, we live in an era that appears more open-minded, non-judgemental and tolerant. The very term intolerant invokes moral condemnation. The author argues that despite the democratisation of public life and the expansion of freedom, society is dominated by a culture that not only tolerates but often encourages intolerance.
