But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. \u003ci\u003eSocial Justice Fallacies\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e However attractive the social justice \u003ci\u003evision\u003c\/i\u003e, the crucial question is whether the social justice \u003ci\u003eagenda \u003c\/i\u003ewill get us to the fulfillment of that vision. History shows that the social justice agenda has often led in the opposite direction, sometimes with catastrophic consequences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e More things are involved besides simply mistakes. All human beings are fallible, and social justice advocates may not necessarily make any more mistakes than others. But crusaders with an utter certainty about their mission are often undeterred by obstacles, evidence or even fatal dangers. That is where much of the Western world is today. The question is whether we will continue on heedlessly, past the point of no return.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Sowell\u003c\/b\u003e is a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.
