Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the principles upon which some of our beliefs are formed and how the influence of authority shapes human opinion. The author traces the development of opinions from childhood through adulthood, exploring how our ideas are shaped by family, education, and social interactions. The book also investigates the role of experts and authority figures in shaping our beliefs and explores the tension between accepting guidance from others and developing our own independent thoughts. The author argues that while authority can be a valuable guide, it is important to understand its limits and to cultivate the ability to think critically and form our own opinions. The book concludes by emphasizing the importance of fostering a culture that values intellectual independence and critical thinking.
