Description

In this classic work, Thomas Sowell evaluates both contending thoughts that form our discussions concerning the nature of reason, justice, equality, and power: the “constrained” vision, which sees human nature as unchanging and self-centered, and the “unconstrained” vision, in which human nature is flexible and perfectible. He explains how these two radically opposed opinions have demonstrated themselves in the political controversies of yesteryear two generations, including such modern issues as social justice, welfare reform, and offense. Updated to incorporate significant political changes since its initial publication in 1987, this revised version of The Conflict of Visions provides a genuine case that moral and coverage conflicts group round the difference between both outlooks.
