Review
""[This book] reflects the views of 40 scholars, scientists, adn other experts... Each author speaks strongly to critics of the scientific methods and to those who acquiesce to mystics, radical environmentalists, and creationists. They also issue a powerful exhonaration to turn back this trend and revert to reliance on reason and logic." -- Science News
Book Description
The authors of Higher Superstition and others take on critics of science from social constructivists to deconstructionists, from creationists and feminists to Afro-centrists.

Softcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Abnutzungen. The end of the 20th century has seen a turning away from the Enlightenment ideals of rationalism, most distressingly by the American academic community itself. This book probes the impulse to unreason from such unlikely quarters as biomedical science, mathematics, and ecology and takes a critical look at other epistemologic frameworks advanced by those taking up the cudgels against science.
