Description
Ágnes Heller goes back to antiquity to show under what circumstances prejudice can arise. She investigates social and psychological conditions and analyses the fundamental prejudices of modernity: racial, ethnic and religious prejudices, class prejudices, prejudices against women and sexual prejudices. From Socrates to Shakespeare, from Leibniz and Weber to Foucault and Luhmann, the Grande Dame of philosophy shows us what she personally experienced and still experiences in the 20th and 21st centuries: a whole cosmos of prejudices.
