More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The Disrespect Agenda is a plea for the kind of clear thinking, and for the love of liberty, that typified the rise of Britain in the Hanoverian period. The author argues that the constant harping on about respect in the contemporary world - by governments, gangsters, and community leaders - is the tip of an iceberg of confusion and moral weakness. Free and responsible human beings should not crave respect, and should bestow it only cautiously, after stringent tests and never as a matter of right. The author suggests an agenda of targets for sceptical disrespect, including artists, educationalists and politicians.
