Open and closed mind (Martino Fine Books)

2015 Reprint of 1960 Edition. Full Facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Based on intensive studies this work probes deeply into the nature of prejudice and dogmatic thinking. In so doing, it sheds light on the processes aby which man constructs and organizes his systems of belief and on the relation between an individual's patterns of belief and his underlying personality structure. It follows in the tradition of "Escape from Freedom" and "The Authoritarian Personality."
