Frank Furedi on Conformism
Wednesday 1st January 2014
Text of the day: “One of the book’s main objectives is to confront the powerful mood of conformism that afflicts contemporary cultural and intellectual life. The most visible expression of this conformism is the fashionable view that for better or worse we live in a world where cultural and educational institutions and conventions are far better and far more responsive to the needs of society than in the past.” (Frank Furedi’s Where Have All the Intellectuals Gone?)
