Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Second Printing. Inscribed by author on half title page. "In Plagues of the Mind, Bruce S. Thornton, professor of Classics at the California State University, Fresno, presents an impassioned plea for reason against "the new epidemic of false knowledge." Taking his cue from the English Renaissance skeptic Sir Thomas Browne-the iconoclast who wrote against the pseudodoxia epidemica of his age-Thornton likewise assaults (to quote Browne) "swallow[ing] falsities for truths, dubiosities for certainties, fesibilities for possibilities, and things impossible as possibilities." Plagues of the Mind explores the reasons why, in this age of information, we still are prey to that temptation. Thornton focuses not on the easy targets-supermarket tabloids and New Age fantasy-but on the received wisdom of today's public intellectuals. Part One traces the historical and cultural roots of such ancient myths as the Golden Age and the Noble Savage and discusses the present corruption of mind wrought by those beliefs in the media and education. Part Two examines in detail three popular specimens of false knowledge: romantic environmentalism, Noble-Savage Indianism, and the Old Europe Mother Goddess.". Inscribed by Author(s).
