Philosophy: epistemology & theory of knowledge; Social & political philosophy; Impact of science & technology on society

Human beings have reached an unprecedented moment. After exponential leaps in technology, we've been thrust into a world of instant and overwhelming communication. As a result, we're overloaded with information, and more and more often, people seem willing to believe what is untrue.

Rethinking Thinking provides an illuminating response to this moment. Hugh Roddis's theory of human behaviour and evolution puts communication and belief at the centre. Through careful consideration of human history, our singular abilities as human beings, and the effects-good and bad-of how we developed, Roddis offers a compelling new understanding of where we are, how we got here, and, critically, how we can best move forward.
