Description
 
Jonathan Singer's witty, erudite book is a celebration of rationality and an urgent call to make use of intelligence and reason to cope with human problems. Emphasizing the importance of rationality's greatest achievement, modern science, Singer -- one of the foremost biologists of our era -- argues that for the first time in several million years, humanity has at its disposal the tools for an objective understanding of the external world.

Singer demonstrates that today, more than ever, the fullest exercise of rationality is essential and a human population explosion that together threaten to devastate life on this planet within only a few more generations.

The intrusion of reasion and rationality into our largely irrational world has been painfully slow, uneven, and often unwelcome. Singer explains that for rationalists, the founding of modern science -- which took place only a few hundred years ago -- has overthrown many of the myths of conventional wisdom and the dogmas of traditional religions. Yet these beliefs still hold sway over the irrational world, obstructing efforts to deal sensibly with the problematic future of mankind...
