Absolutization is, broadly speaking, the belief that we have the whole story. It encompasses dogma, bias, fallacy, metaphysics, repression, certainty, projection and addiction, and I’m aiming to show how these phenomena are linked. Finding what these have in common allows us to address them more effectively together, when academic specialists have tended instead to play the blind men and the elephant. This book first connects 23 features of absolutization with 5 different starting point disciplinary areas. It then identifies 4 criteria for any effective response to absolutization.
