Science in an Age of Unreason

In Science in an Age of Unreason, renowned psychologist and biologist John Staddon explores the identity crisis facing modern science amidst societal pressures that prioritize wishful thinking over objective truth. He critiques the impact of these pressures on critical issues like ethnicity, gender, and climate change, arguing that such capitulations jeopardize the integrity of scientific inquiry. With a blend of intellectual rigor and literary flair, Staddon prompts a vital discussion about the need to separate facts from passions and offers a path for academia to reclaim its role as a beacon of reason and knowledge.
