The media bombard us with claims that are often strange, unclear,
and even upsetting. Quantum physicists claim that "vacuum
nothingness" is not really nothing, because it teems with energy
and virtual particles. Psychological research suggests that most of
our neighbors suffer from some degree of mental disorder. Social
scientists assure us that science itself is simply a cultural myth.
Can anyone sort out fact from fiction in today's world? The answer,
thankfully, is "Yes " But first, you must make a radical shift in
your approach, because serious thinking about reality involves
serious thinking about fiction, not only in your everyday mind, but
also in the scholarly and technical realms. For anyone who has ever
wondered-and you should wonder-whether there really are such things
as government, society, the economy, or even marriage, the deeply
philosophical and utterly practical "Logical Fictions" shows you
how a solid grounding in logic and language can help you avoid
getting trapped by the ideological fictions prevalent in today's
sophisticated world. Consider yourself warned: humorous and filled
with entertaining examples, this book will stretch your brain and
provoke your thoughts. Your view of the world may never be the
same.
