Unbelievable. I am dismayed that this work is taken seriously. If you think that the idea of reason and rationality is constructed as a tool for political purposes you are frankly insane. Reason stands above any side's political purposes. This book itself is a failed attempt at reason. This book's value is as a humorous testament to what extreme lengths people can take fundamentally absurd ideas and how people can believe it is profound. This book sets out to argue against reason? Did the other reviewers miss this astounding contradiction?
