The Edge Of Reason

Sunday Sequence

Available for over a year

We all like to think of ourselves as rational human beings - so much so, the phrase has become a cliché. But are we becoming less rational? Are we, as a society, losing the ability to reason? The philosopher Julian Baggini thinks the contemporary West has become more and more dismissive of the power of reason - which is the opening statement in his new book, The Edge of Reason.
