Reason, Social Myths and Democracy

Dedicated "to the memory of a Great Adversary," this 1940 work is a startling clarion call to embrace reason and rationality as the only way to solve social problems. Hook discusses:

. democracy and scientific method
. the meaning behind nonsense
. the folklore of capitalism
. ideas as weapons
. integral humanism
. science, atheism, and mythology
. science and the "new obscurantism"
. the mythology of class science
. and much more.
