A stirring and sobering diagnosis of the challenges that confront anyone laboring to renew America's tradition of ordered liberty. Classicist Bruce Thornton's Plagues of the Mind is a forceful vindication of the West's tradition of rational, critical inquiry—a legacy now largely jettisoned in favor of a host of new deities, environmentalism, feminism, primitivism, New Age, and the cult of the therapeutic among them.
What They're Saying...
"Thornton's lessons provide readers with the principles of critical thinking and research that enable them to approach a new subject well equipped to weight the options and adopt genuine knowledge instead of false knowledge…"
— Christian Research Journal
"Plagues of the Mind is a much needed antidote to the kind of intellectual
cancers that contaminate so much of the discourse and assumptions rampant in
the general populace today."
— Wisconsin Bookwatch
