More about the book

Focusing on the interplay between rationality and irrationality, Robert E. Butts explores the role of scientific rationality as a safeguard against societal fears and witch hunts. As a pragmatic realist, he merges logical empiricism with a historically informed pragmatism, emphasizing the importance of scientific methods. Butts aims to articulate a form of rationality vital for upholding human values amidst challenges posed by irrational beliefs and behaviors. His work reflects a deep appreciation for the historical context of scientific inquiry and its implications for society.
