Introduction: Prejudice reconsidered -- The case against prejudice -- The case for situated understanding : Heidegger on being-in-the-world -- Situated agency : the implication of being-in-the-world for freedom -- The role of prejudice in the study of history : Gadamer on past and present -- The role of prejudice in moral judgment : a hermeneutic reading of Aristotle -- Prejudice and rhetoric.
Summary: 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.
