Discriminations : achieving peace in the culture wars / A.G. Grayling.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

It seems like we can't talk about anything nowadays...
Whether it's war or something utterly inconsequential, the
internet is primed for furore. And the results can be
horrifying - from online pile-ons and doxing to job loss
and, in some cases, death. But how did we end up here?
Nuanced and historically grounded, A. C. Grayling searches
for middle ground in an otherwise incendiary debate.
Looking at the history of cancellation, from Ancient Greek
'ostracism' through hemlock cups, witch trials and the
House of Un-American Activities, Discriminations is a
timely examination of the state of our public culture and
the chilling effect it's having on intellectual discourse.
