Return to Reason

"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', published 2003 under ISBN 9780674012356 and ISBN 0674012356.
