Reviews

""Read this book if you think most people reason well. Read it if you think deliberative democracy can survive given the way most people reason. Read it if you think philosophers are paying due attention to the way most people reason. Read it if you think we'll get good political outcomes without reforming public education. Read it if you believe universities teach critical thinking. Everyone, just read it!"" --Gary Comstock, North Carolina State University
