andremfp 's review for:
The Demon-Haunted World
by Carl Sagan
The holly book of critical thinking. Carl Sagan shows the importance of critical thinking and rational thought and its impact in our society as well as in our own lives.
As a big advocate for education and the scientific method, he also shows the scary consequences of illiteracy, especially when in the hands of those who want to keep people that way.
I fully agree that these topics should be taught from an early age in school, teaching everyone to ask why and to say “I don’t know” when necessary.
This book is a great place to start and would be very useful if discussed in school.
“If we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power.”
