The end of the 20th century has seen a turning away from the Enlightenment ideals of rationalism, most distressingly by the American academic community itself. This book probes the impulse to unreason from such unlikely quarters as biomedical science, mathematics, and ecology and takes a critical look at other epistemologic frameworks advanced by those taking up the cudgels against science.
