Synopsis
Forty-two essays responding to the thesis that the American academic community is turning away from the Enlightenment ideals of rationalism as the 20th century closes in on the millennium. The papers diverge widely from this central thematic hub delving into subjects as varied as the public image of science, the meaning of truth and reason, the foundations of physics, health issues, environmental sciences, social theories of science, the history and politics of social science, feminism, humanities, religion, and education. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
