About the Book

Given the enormous struggles, efforts and money expended on the equalities enterprise, why has more progress not been made? And further, why have things actually become worse in some circumstances? It is argued this has occurred because:- The values of Equality have been bureaucratized, allowing the liberal principle of "live and let live" to be perverted and put in the service of fear and control.- The Diversity discourse has been hijacked by the libertarians and put in the service of increasing profit, under the guise of liberty and inclusivity.- The equality movements have become apolitical, sidetracked into the project of the indiscriminate celebration and preservation of cultures, in lieu of challenging the status quo within cultures as much as between them.- The versions of psychology and sociology that the equality movements have drawn on are over simple

About the Author :
Farhad Dalal

Review :
"Hurrah, and what a relief - at last an intelligent argument for using judgement and discrimination against prevailing multiculturalist dogma and relativist orthodoxies. Thought Paralysis bravely takes on the 'diversity peddlers' and 'liberals of a certain persuasion', whose constructed taboos too often crush our capacity for discernment and silent criticism. And all this is done without giving succour to the reactionaries, firmly keeping faith with the emancipatory project. Written in a refreshingly accessible way, using a myriad of everyday examples, we are offered a complex defence of Enlightenment values. As I read, I had many 'virtual' arguments with its author. This is a compliment as Dalal's writing stimulated endless intellectual challenges. The author invites us to an 'exchange of ideological fluids', knowing that convictions, however strong, ought to remain open to interrogation and challenge. So read this book and let the critical juices flow."--Claire Fox, Director, Institute of Ideas; panellist
