PREJUDICE

[L:83] Prejudices are provisional judgments which are treated as principles. "The main sources of prejudices are imitation, habit, and inclination" (e.g., proverbs, which, as "merely parochial sentences...are not to be met with among people of refined education". Types of prejudice include prejudice of prestige (prestige of the individual, of the multitude, and of the age [e.g., of the Greeks]) and prejudices of self-love ("or logical egoism").
