This work is a connected series of essays on morality, education, law, and society. All of the essays indeed "think against the grain," challenging some of the dominant thinkers and fashions of our time in a strikingly original and penetrating way. They force the reader to consider our hegemonic values, how we are to live our lives and view our world. Political theorists, social scientists, philosophers, educators, legal scholars, and cultural and literary theorists will find them profitable to study. While the book meets the standards expected by such scholars, its essays are written in a lively and accessible manner, which also makes them of interest to the general educated public.

Written by the late Dr. Rodger Beehler, this work imparts the wisdom and insights of writers who instruct and amuse the reader on matters of our predominant values.

Rodger Beehler was Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. He received his Ph.D. in Philosophy at the University of Calgary and earlier studied at Oxford University and the University of Manitoba. Dr. Beehler was an accomplished author with numerous published articles and academic texts, among them Moral Life (1978) and The Theory, Not the Theorist: The Case Of Karl Marx (2006).
