| 520 | |a Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only white people can be racist? Pluckrose and Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs ideas like these, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields. Pluckrose and Lindsay warn that the unchecked proliferation of anti-Enlightenment beliefs present a threat not only to liberal democracy but also to modernity itself. -- adapted from jacket | ||
