Cultural Revolutions: Reason Versus Culture in Philosophy, Politics, and Jihad

by Lawrence E. Cahoone

Cultural Revolutions: Reason Versus Culture in Philosophy, Politics, and Jihad Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In this probing examination of the meaning and function of culture in contemporary society, Lawrence Cahoone argues that reason itself is cultural, but no less reasonable for it.
