Why Liberals and Conservatives Clash

Offers an explanation for the polarization between liberal and conservative that is the hallmark of the American political landscape. This book presents a set of guidelines to predict a person's views based on other views they hold, given that each world-view is what it is for structural reasons, and is more than a sum of discrete positions.

  • "Offering an explanation for the extreme polarization between liberal and conservative that is the hallmark of the American political landscape today, this book suggests that liberal thought is intrinsically different from conservative, and that each constitutes a self-subsistent world-view with its specific qualities and rules. The book offers a set of guidelines to predict a person's views based on other views they hold, given that each world-view is what it is for structural reasons, and is more than merely a sum of discrete positions. It explains, for example, why people who support gay marriage also typically support the woman's right to an early-term abortion, and why people who demand that citizens 'support the military' understand this as meaning, support putting members of the military in harm's way. Because liberal thought and conservative thought each constitutes a closed world-view, neither side will ever convince the other in an argument. The most we can hope for is an acknowledgment by each side of the usefulness of the other, a goal Fleming proposes as the most reasonable one for our times."
