  Today we associate prejudice with ignorance and bigotry and consider it a source of injustice. So how
can prejudice have a legitimate place in moral and political judgment? In this ambitious work, Adam Sandel shows that
prejudice, properly understood, is not an unfortunate obstacle to clear thinking but an essential aspect of it. The
aspiration to reason without preconceptions, he argues, is misguided.
  
  Ranging across philosophy from
Aristotle to Heidegger and Gadamer, Sandel demonstrates that we inherit our "prejudice against prejudice" from the
Enlightenment. By detaching reason from habit and common opinion, thinkers such as Bacon, Descartes, and Kant invented
prejudice--as we understand it today--as an obstacle to freedom and a failure to think for oneself.
  
  The Place of Prejudice presents a powerful challenge to this picture. The attempt to purge
understanding of culture and history leads not to truth, Sandel warns, but to shallowness and confusion. A purely
detached notion of reason deprives judgment of all perspective, disparages political rhetoric as mere pandering, and
denies us the background knowledge we need to interpret literature, law, and the past. In a clear, eloquent voice,
Sandel presents instead a compelling case for reasoning within the world.
  
  Reviews
  Adam Sandel’s book presents ‘the prejudice against
prejudice’ and then the case against it in a clear and eloquent manner. The case still needs to be made to
English-speaking audiences in a way that can be widely understood, and this text can do it. It would serve a great need
in today’s Anglophone philosophical world. (Charles Taylor, author of A Secular
Age)
  
  A sweeping, ambitious, original, and provocative work. It takes on not a thinker or a
theory, but a way of thinking that represents the achievement of modernity and the mark of intellectual and moral
integrity: the capacity to liberate ourselves from prejudice and to see things objectively. Prejudice in fact is
inescapable, on this account, and is a necessary starting point for practical reason. This is an ambitious book that
makes good on its ambition. (Russell Muirhead, author of Just Work)
