"It is, unfortunately, a repeated fault of the book that it fails to connect with its targets in sufficient detail, preferring to range widely over subjects and centuries, to meander and even sometimes to swerve across the line into pure waffle. This is ironic, as the main message of the book--surely a laudable one--is that abstract principles are no substitute for concrete, practical-minded engagement of the subject under investigation."Toulmin, Stephen is the author of 'Return to Reason' with ISBN 9780674004955 and ISBN 0674004957.
