The Nudist on the Late Shift by Po Bronson

The Nudist on the Late Shift by Po Bronson

This title was first published in 2000. Rethinking Prejudice offers the first philosophical monograph on the concept of prejudice. It takes its start from a study of Enlightenment thought, and pursues the topic to the reassessment of prejudice in contemporary hermeneutics. Yet history of ideas is a means rather than an end in this book. The author analyzes the debates about prejudice from the 17th century onwards in order to shed light upon present concerns. Prejudice is not something peculiar to racists and similarly sinister figures, the author argues; rather, it is an indispensable part of everyone's intellectual repertoire; if relevant phenomena are to be criticized, a genuine moral stance cannot be avoided. This book introduces and explores a topic of wide interest, particularly to those researching within the fields of philosophy, history of ideas, cultural studies, and social and political theory.

Bronson writes feature articles for The New York Times Magazine and Wired and op-ed pieces for The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Bronson has created a one-hour dramatic television series called South of Market, derived from his Silicon Valley experiences.
He is also a founder of The Grotto, a writer's cooperative in San Francisco; Chairman of the Board of Consortium Book Sales & Distribution, the exclusive national representative of sixty independent publishers; and a board member of Mercury House, a literary nonprofit press in San Francisco.
Bronson has a B.A. in Economics from Stanford University and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University.
