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.
