Description: Zilbergeld contends that political correctness poses the most important intellectual threat to America in the early 21st century. He asserts that political correctness is of great significance because the movement is a massive and largely successful attempt to undermine the philosophical underpinnings of Western civilization.

Zilbergeld also explores the nature and concepts of political correctness, including its philosophical and historical antecedents. In each chapter, the specific issue is addressed with examples of politically correct arguments and counterarguments, so that the reader can evaluate the issue equitably.
