"The authors take on critics of science whose views range from moderate to extreme, from social constructivists to deconstructionists, from creationists and feminists to Afro-centrists. They discuss the rise of "alternative medicine" and radical environmentalism (here skewered as "ecosentimentalism"). They explain why the "uncertainty principle" does not work as a metaphor for ambiguity, and why "chaos theory" cannot be invoked without an understanding of mathematics. Throughout, they grapple with the paradox inherent in arguing with opponents who contend that reason itself, and thus logic, is suspect."--Jacket
"This volume represents the proceedings of a conference entitled: 'The Flight From Science and Reason, ' which was sponsored by the New York Academy of Sciences and held in New York, New York, on May 31-June 2, 1995"--Title page verso
