The Assault on Reason pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

A visionary analysis of how the politics of fear, secrecy, cronyism, and blind faith has combined with the degradation of the public sphere to create an environment dangerously hostile to reason

At the time George W. Bush ordered American forces to invade Iraq, 70 percent of Americans believed Saddam Hussein was linked to 9/11. Voters in Ohio, when asked by pollsters to list what stuck in their minds about the campaign, most frequently named two Bush television ads that played to fears of terrorism.

We live in an age when the thirty-second television spot is the most powerful force shaping the electorate's thinking, and America is in the hands of an administration less interested than any previous administration in sharing the truth with the citizenry. Related to this and of even greater concern is this administration's disinterest in the process by which the truth is ascertained, the tenets of fact-based reasoning-first among them an embrace of open inquiry in which unexpected and even inconvenient facts can lead to unexpected conclusions.

How did we get here? How much damage has been done to the functioning of our democracy and its role as steward of our security? Never has there been a worse time for us to lose the capacity to face the reality of our long-term challenges, from national security to the economy, from issues of health and social welfare to the environment. As The Assault on Reason shows us, we have precious little time to waste.

Gore's larger goal in this book is to explain how the public sphere itself has evolved into a place hospitable to reason's enemies, to make us more aware of the forces at work on our own minds, and to lead us to an understanding of what we can do, individually and collectively, to restore the rule of reason and safeguard our future. Drawing on a life's work in politics as well as on the work of experts across a broad range of disciplines, Al Gore has written a farsighted and powerful manifesto for clear thinking.

這本書失敗的地方很多。它從最初對美國政治環境中理性思辨的反思變成瞭對於小布什政權濫用權力的控訴,從對競選廣告和選民行為關係的研究變成瞭對於紙媒體世紀的緬懷與嚮往。再加上那些充滿自由派烙印卻缺乏論證的對共和黨和利益集團的揣測,以及戈爾本人對於互聯網過分天真的...

This is a great synthesis on the discourse in public sphere. Fear vs. Trust, Reason vs. Faith, Image vs. Word, Internet vs. TV, Entertainment vs. Information are all laid out with great writing. This is so different from the Al Gore bureaucrat we know befor...
