Prejudices

In this book, Robert Nisbet presents over 70 reflections on a wide range of topics, arguing for liberty over equality, authority against permissiveness, and the importance of community linked by history, religion, and ritual.

He critiques egalitarianism, environmentalism, and judicial activism, among other subjects, with a style that is both humorous and somber.

Nisbet's work is characterized by his profound moral conviction and his advocacy for a society where individuals are free to improve or destroy themselves, rejecting determinism of any kind.
