“It is telling that the word “discrimination,” which used to be considered a virtue, is now wholly negative in connotation. To understand the difference between one thing and another, to draw relevant distinctions, refusing to blur important boundaries between objectively different things—all of this is essential to politics, to law, to theology, and to thought in general. But today, we are inclined to deconstruct any such claims to objective distinction as just so much subjective prejudice. Richard Hooker, a master of discrimination, knew better.”
