The New Inquisition: Irrational Rationalism and the Citadel of Science

The New Inquisitiondares to confront the disease of our time; Fundamentalist Materialism. Wilson explains, I am opposing the Fundamentalism, not the Materialism. This book...is deliberately shocking because I do not want its ideas to seem any less stark or startling than they are.
