Abstract: "Society Against Itself is in the tradition of psychodynamically based culture criticism from Sigmund Freud to Weston La Barre and M.D. Faber. Professor Schwarts refutes the widely held ideology of political correctness (PC) while he explores its appeal. He shows that, far from enriching democracy, PC sabotages it."--Howard F. Stein, PhD, Professor and Special Assistant to the Chair, Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, USA.
