This is an engaging and insightful collection of essays exploring philosophy in the context of real-world issues. This engaging and wide-ranging collection of essays is informed and unified by the conviction that philosophy can, and should, engage with real-world issues. Susan Haack's keen analytical skills illuminate a diverse range of cultural questions; and her direct style and wry sense of humour make complex ideas and subtle distinctions accessible to serious readers whatever their discipline or particular interests. This new, expanded edition includes several previously unpublished essays; a devastating critique of Karl Popper's highly (and dangerously) influential philosophy of science; a searching and thought-provoking analysis of scientism; and a ground-breaking paper on 'academic ethics in a preposterous environment' that every professor, and would-be professor, should read.
