The book A Conflict of Visions: Origins of Political Struggles by Thomas Sowell centers around the idea of understanding the roots of differing political visions which he refers to as "our sense of how the world works." (Sowell) Consequently, there is no means of reconciliation and/or compromise between these two contradicting political concepts he presents as the constrained and unconstrained visions. On the other hand, Moral Politics: How Liberals and Conservatives Think by George Lakoff presents an argument towards the contradiction between Liberals' and Conservatives' worldviews through cognitive linguistics or "The subfield most concerned with issues of worldview, that is, with everyday conceptualization, reasoning, and language." (Lakoff)
