Description and Table of Contents

Description

"Political correctness" refers to initiatives of feminists, multiculturalists, and postmodernists to promote cultural sensitivity and protections against harassment. In the past five years, a second wave of controversy over political correctness has unveiled a core of enduring problems that strike at the heart of liberal democracy. Contributors from the center to the left of the political spectrum examine challenges posed by political correctness to individual rights, universalism and equality, and science and reason.
