Frank Furedi - Th Age of Unreason

The Spectator.co.uk

Superb Spectator article on the fall of truth and the rise of emotional nonsense. Not coincidentally, the same issue finds Mark Steyn slamming the Constant Gardener for exctly those faults, a film I argued against some time ago. Whatever the media darlings say, make up your own mind. Protect your heads! Montaigne said that books could be more dangerous than poison, because once you'd read them, they were in your mind forever; poison can be thrown up again.
