  Publication Date: March 19, 2012
  Drawing inspiration from philosophy, history, and
literature, Martha C. Nussbaum takes us to task for our religious intolerance, identifies the fear behind it, and offers
a way past fear toward a more equitable, imaginative, and free society, through the consistent application of universal
principles of respect for conscience.
  
  
  Reviews
  With a palpable sense of moral urgency, Martha Nussbaum explores the
pathology of the Islamophobia sweeping the West since 9/11. Her diagnosis amounts to a dire warning that the failure to
overcome the fear of religious and cultural difference threatens the constitutional and ethical foundations of liberal
democracy. (Paul Mendes-Flohr, University of Chicago Divinity School)
  
  Martha Nussbaum persuasively demonstrates that what we need to tackle the root causes of religious hatred is not
only broad minds but also open hearts capable of compassion and imagination. A passionate and encouraging book! (Heiner Bielefeldt, United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or
Belief)
  
  The recent brouhaha over a proposed Muslim cultural center in lower Manhattan provides
a case study for philosopher Martha Nussbaum to explore American bias against Muslims--how religious bigotry works, what
fuels it, and how it can warp our personal and policy decisions...Lucid and forceful, Nussbaum marshals the masters of
moral philosophy--primarily Locke and Kant--as well as a host of literary and historical voices to propose an approach
to religious difference that honors both difference and our shared humanity. This is a plainspoken but profound and even
challenging book. (Kate Tuttle Boston Globe 2012-04-29)
  
  The New
Religious Intolerance: Overcoming the Politics of Fear in an Anxious Age is an excellent book that deserves a wide
readership. Nussbaum has provided liberal societies with a road map out of fear into a more inclusive society, and she
has put us all--Muslims and non-Muslims--in her debt...Nussbaum writes in accessible, engaging language, and
contemporary examples drawn from films such as Fatal Attraction and Invasion of the Body Snatchers ensure that a general
readership will feel involved in her scholarly analysis of how fear of Muslims is being deliberately manufactured in our
societies. (Maleiha Malik Times Higher Education 2012-04-26)
  
 
Nussbaum, among our most original social thinkers today, enters the debate on anti-Muslim discrimination with a voice of
established authority. She invites us to examine disputes about women's use of the burka and the construction of an
Islamic-initiated "multi-faith community center" near New York's Ground Zero. The author's argument for tolerant
accommodation falls within the "Socratic and Christian/Kantian" commitment to live an examined life in relations with
religious minorities. In pursuit of this goal, Nussbaum considers the psychology of "narcissistic" fear, the
jurisprudence of religious freedom, and the power of imaginative empathy in fiction. She supports her argument through a
demand for consistency, progress, and precedent, using examples that move comfortably from the life of Rhode Island's
founder, Roger Williams, through novelist George Eliot's Daniel Deronda, as well as relevant Supreme Court arguments.
The parallels she draws between past anti-Semitic and present anti-Islamic sentiment are convincing. The "new" religious
tolerance is less new than we might imagine. This powerful and profound book is useful to anyone seriously concerned
with religious pluralism and civil liberty. (Zachary T. Irwin Library Journal
2012-04-15)
  
  The New Religious Intolerance is a vigorous defense of the religious freedom of
minorities in the face of post-9/11 Islamophobia. (Giles Fraser The Guardian
2012-06-30)
  
  Nussbaum is one of America's leading liberal thinkers. In The New Religious
Intolerance, she turns her attention to the rise of antireligious—and specifically anti-Muslim—zealotry
since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. (Damon Linker New York Times Book Review
2012-07-22)
  
  Martha Nussbaum continues her critical reflection on the ways in which a
democratic society can practice justice and provide well-being for all its members. As we have come to expect, she
compellingly combines erudite critical analysis with intense moral passion...Her acute analysis of social fear carries
her all the way back to Aristotle, who pondered how people can manufacture fear by imagining that a threat is close at
hand...Nussbaum summons us not to abdicate responsibility in the face of programmed hysteria. Important steps can be
taken to counter such amorphous anxiety, but those steps require resolve, imagination and engagement. Nussbaum's appeal
is not only to government policy makers but also to religious types who have responsibility for nurturing sympathetic
imagination and for disciplining the inner eye. (Walter Brueggemann Christian Century
2012-09-24)
  
  Martha Nussbaum is a professor of law and ethics. In this short and beautifully
argued book, she brings the two disciplines together as she focuses on the wave of Islamophobia that is sweeping across
America and Europe...[The New Religious Intolerance] should be required reading for those who have to adjudicate on
questions of civic conformity and religious dissent. (Nicholas Sagovsky The Tablet
2012-10-06)
  
  Martha Nussbaum eloquently speaks for, and continues, this tradition [of
liberality] in her book The New Religious Intolerance. She pleads for the use of our 'inner eyes,' for that 'curious and
sympathetic imagination' that is adept at 'recognizing humanity in strange costumes.' Like Trilling, she illustrates
this liberal imagination with works of literature--in her case ranging from Lessing's Nathan the Wise all the way to the
children's books of Marguerite de Angeli. We can't all be novelists or poets, but some of their imaginative skills are
essential if we are to combine the stern, singular legal and political requirements of equal freedom with the baggy,
polyphonous reality of social and cultural diversity. (Timothy Garton Ash New York Review of
Books 2012-11-22)
  
  Nussbaum guides readers toward an ethical response to the fears that have
fed attacks on Muslims and others, and bred toxic religious persecution. Nussbaum asserts a moral calling to provide
principles for democratic practice...Nussbaum proves that the role of political philosophy is essential and practical,
"offering insight" to society so that people can think more carefully. Fear is central to religious intolerance, and
although natural and necessary to survival, fear is the most base and thoughtless of human emotions. The dynamics of
fear lead to hypocrisy and persecution of religious minorities. In times of fear and anxiety, people make rules that are
self-serving, ill-informed, and arrogant, applying to others but not oneself. Nussbaum's survey of legal and
philosophical developments confronting equal respect for conscience and impartiality seeks the ultimate goal of living
an "examined life." Nussbaum erects principles that are essential to a good life: inclusiveness, respect for diversity,
seeing through the eyes of others, and developing the creative imagination. Timely, powerful, and articulate, this is a
book that everyone should read. (A. R. Brunello Choice 2012-12-01)
  
 
The value of this book is...in the meticulous way it charts an ethical path through the maze of laws and legal judgments
governing the exercise of religion in the West. (Malise Ruthven International Affairs
2013-04-01)
  
  Martha Nussbaum seeks to explain how politics in Western countries, especially in
America and Europe, is increasingly shaped by Islamophobia...She shows deep concern over the growing decline of
religious tolerance, undue haste to promulgate laws that perpetuate stereotypes about culture and religious practices,
and unwarranted political campaigns and referendum generating enormous anxieties and mistrust about Muslims all over the
world...This is an extraordinary piece of scholarship that deploys intellectual resources of various disciplines, and
addresses perhaps some of the most vital questions of our time regarding citizenship, freedom of religion,
multiculturalism, and issues of interfaith relationship. Without doubt, scholars of all major disciplines will find this
book indispensable in their understanding of the modern world and the challenges that it faces today.(Mujibur Rehman The Hindu 2013-07-08)
  
  [Nussbaum] makes an insightful
contribution on the widening spread of prejudice in the West. It singles out Western intolerance directed against
Muslims. (Mowahid Hussain Shah The Nation (Pakistan) 2013-11-21)
