Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the role of reason, social myths, and democracy in shaping human thought and action. The author argues that the way we think is not always rational or guided by evidence. Instead, our beliefs are often influenced by social myths and assumptions that we accept without question. This can have serious consequences for our decision-making and actions, especially in the realm of politics and social policy. The author provides a detailed analysis of the different ways in which we can arrive at beliefs, from intuition and authority to science and reason. They argue that the scientific method is the most reliable way to determine what is true and false, but it is not always easy to apply in the complex world of social and political affairs. The book concludes with a discussion of the importance of democracy for fostering critical thinking and open inquiry. The author argues that democracy is the best way to protect ourselves from the dangers of irrationality and authoritarianism.
