Kindly Inquisitors: The New Attacks on Free Thought by Jonathan Rauch

5.0

Extraordinary. Possibly one of the best books I've ever read, and certainly the best argument I've ever read. Ferociously argued and cogently written. This does not deserve the relative obscurity it has fallen into. If any piece of writing on the nature and point of science deserves to be required reading for those entering higher education, it is this one.
