Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Truth has always been a central preoccupation of philosophy in all its forms and traditions. An inspiring argument for restoring truth to its rightful place, this book takes a look at how and why modern thought and culture lost sight of the importance of truth. It is useful for those enraged by the worst excesses of the fashionable intelligentsia. Book News Annotation:In this accessible text, the editors of the ButterfliesandWheels.com
website critically examine the current trend of skepticism regarding
the reality, meaning, possibility, and importance of the truth.
Calling for a return to the intellectual tradition of the
Enlightenment, they expose the faulty thinking of everyone from
religious fundamentalists and Holocaust deniers to relativist
intellectuals and postmodernist academics. Benson and Stangroom are
also the authors of The Dictionary of Fashionable Nonsense (Souvenir).
