Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Defence of Prejudice: And Other Essays What is prejudice? Is it always something unreasonable? Is it to be regarded necessarily as an intruder among the more sober activities of the mind? Is it the enemy of clear thinking? Is it the counterfeit of a true judgment?. There are many who would give an unqualified assent to these characterizations of the nature of prejudice. I am persuaded, however, that there is a certain form of prejudice that admits of a rational defence. In this defence, moreover, I am not taking merely the part of a devil´s advocate; but, on the contrary, I am profoundly convinced that there is a prejudice which has a proper place in the processes of the mind, and must be reckoned with as a natural factor in our thinking, and is not to be regarded in any sense as an abnormal and disturbing element.
