From the Pulitzer Prize-winning culture critic for Time magazine comes the tremendously controversial, yet highly persuasive, argument that our devotion to the largely unexamined myth of egalitarianism lies at the heart of the ongoing "dumbing of America."
Americans have always stubbornly clung to the myth of egalitarianism, of the supremacy of the individual average man. But here, at long last, Pulitzer Prize-winning critic William A. Henry III takes on, and debunks, some basic, fundamentally ingrained ideas: that everyone is pretty much alike (and should be); that self-fulfillment is more imortant thant objective achievement; that everyone has something significant to contribute; that all cultures offer something equally worthwhile; that a truly just society would automatically produce equal success results across lines of race, class, and gender; and that the common man is almost always right. Henry makes clear, in a book full of vivid examples and unflinching opinions, that while these notions are seductively democratic they are also hopelessly wrong.

评分争取两性平等、争取种族平等……一切的平等都是值得争取的。有人反对为了结果的看似平等用不同标准来替代同一标准,认为在起点上要平等,提供平等竞争机会,而不是用工作与受教育机会(指大学)的配额制的终点平等……看起来很完美的结论。 但是,事情总有不如意。...
评分威廉亨利的论述是极其有力量的,大部分也直击痛处,但必须对他所强调和主张的精英主义进行进一步厘清和梳理,否则极易一路滑向法西斯。 他反对的是“反智识的平民主义思潮”,强调的是思想有优劣之分、贡献有大小之异,成就有高低之别。 他所主张的精英主义,并非站在民主的对...
