Leo Strauss on Prejudice - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 275 Prejudice/Leo Strauss/Gadamer: The German word seems - like the French "prejugé", but even more decidedly - to have been limited by the Enlightenment and its criticism of religion to the meaning of "unfounded judgment". Prejudice/Leo Strauss: "The word "prejudice" is the most appropriate expression for the great will of the Enlightenment, for the will to free, unbiased examination; prejudice is the unambiguous polemical correlate of the all too ambiguous word "freedom".(1) >Prejudice/Gadamer. 1.
