The tyranny of virtue : identity, the academy, and the hunt for political heresies / Robert Boyers. by Boyers, Robert author. Subjects Toleration.   Political correctness.   Identity politics.   Liberalism.   Education, Higher -- United States. Publisher Info:  New York : Scribner, 2019. Edition:  First Scribner hardcover edition. Description:  xx, 170 pages ; 24 cm RDA Types:  text unmediated volume ISBN:  9781982127183 198212718X Format Book:  Summary:  "Written from the perspective of a liberal intellectual who has spent a lifetime as a writer, editor, and college professor, The Tyranny of Virtue is a precise and nuanced insider's look at shifts in American culture--most especially in the American academy--that so many people find alarming. Part memoir and part polemic, an anatomy of important and dangerous ideas, and a cri de coeur lamenting the erosion of standard liberal values, Boyers's collection of essays is devoted to such subjects as tolerance, identity, privilege, appropriation, diversity, and ableism that have turned academic life into a minefield. Why, Robert Boyers asks, are a great many liberals, people who should know better, invested in the drawing up of enemies lists and driven by the conviction that on critical issues no dispute may be tolerated? In stories, anecdotes, and character profiles, a public intellectual and longtime professor takes on those in his own progressive cohort who labor in the grip of a poisonous and illiberal fundamentalism. The end result is a finely tuned work of cultural intervention from the front lines." -- inside front book jacket flap.
