Description

Uncommon Sense by Ian Shapiro is a spirited defence of the Enlightenment against attacks from both the left and right. Shapiro argues that the Enlightenment's emphasis on reason and science remains crucial in contemporary politics, despite the challenges we face. The author explains why optimism about politics is hard to come by today and outlines an appropriate response to these challenges. He debunks ill-considered remedies and offers better alternatives for deepening democracy. This book provides a rich source of insight into the urgent implications of Enlightenment ideas for our modern world.
