The principle objective of this paper is to research into Philip Roth’s uncovering and opposition to American racial discrimination, foreign wars and free love. By reading Philip Roth’s novels concerning these aspects and referring to studies done by other scholars in these fields, after a careful and logical analysis, the writer of this paper draws a reasonable conclusion about Philip Roth’s attitudes toward these matters. In many of his works, Philip Roth exposes and condemns racial discrimination in American society, displays and criticizes the culture of free love, unfolds American people’s calamities caused by foreign wars and expresses his protest against foreign wars.
