We live in an age of ideology, propaganda, and tribalism. 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 makes it easier to
name, shame, ostracize and harass non-conformists, and destroys
careers and lives. How can we oppose this, regaining freedom and
our sense of ourselves as individuals? The Tyranny of Opinion
identifies the problem, defines its character, and proposes
strategies of resistance. Russell Blackford calls for an end to
ideological purity policing and for recommitment to the
foundational liberal values of individual liberty and spontaneity,
free inquiry, diverse opinion, and honest debate.
