Why Truth Matters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Why Truth Matters is a book by Ophelia Benson and Jeremy Stangroom published by Continuum Books in 2006 .
It is "an argument for the importance of truth, along with related values and practices of reason, inquiry, evidence, testing, peer review, and the like, and against trendy but incoherent pseudo-philosophical moves that would replace them with wishful thinking."
It was widely praised on its release, and reviewed in the Times Literary Supplement [1], the The Guardian [2] and the Financial Times [3].
Author Johann Hari called it "a sassy, profound and – yes – true response to this cascade of superstition and silliness." [4]
