Book Discussion – BOOK DISCUSSION: Thomas Sowell’s A Conflict of Visions
January 24 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm CET
Host Organization: Braver Angels Alliance - Europe
State/Region: Europe
We will be discussing Thomas Sowell’s “A Conflict of Visions”, on the recommended reading list from the BA workshop, Depolarizing Within.
It was originally published in 1987; a revised edition appeared in 2007. Sowell’s opening chapter attempts to answer the question of why the same people tend to be political adversaries in issue after issue, when the issues vary enormously in subject matter and sometimes hardly seem connected to one another. The root of these conflicts, Sowell claims, are the “visions”, or the intuitive feelings that people have about human nature; different visions imply radically different consequences for how they think about everything from war to justice.
