Throughout history, humans have always indulged in certain irrationalities and held some fairly wrong-headed beliefs. But in his newest book, philosopher Lee McIntyre shows how we've now reached a watershed moment for ignorance in the modern era, due to the volume of misinformation, the speed with which it can be digitally disseminated, and the savvy exploitation of our cognitive weaknesses by those who wish to advance their ideological agendas. In Respecting Truth: Willful Ignorance in the Internet Age, McIntyre issues a call to fight back against this slide into the witless abyss. In the tradition of Galileo, the author champions the importance of using tested scientific methods for arriving at true beliefs, and shows how our future survival is dependent on a more widespread, reasonable world.

Описание: `We desire all and only those things we conceive to be good; we avoid what we conceive to be bad`. In Appearances of the Good, Sergio Tenenbaum argues that this slogan is both significant and exactly right, even in cases of apparent conflict between our desires and our evaluative judgements.

Описание: Ignorance is a neglected issue in philosophy. This is surprising given that ignorance is a core concept in medical ethics and in debates about privacy, and features in religious traditions and debates about belief in God. This book provides important tools from epistemology that can be used in debates within and beyond philosophy.
