Anti-intellectualism to Anti-rationalism to Post-truth Era: The
Challenges for Higher Education argues that emergence of the
post-truth world is evidence that anti-intellectualism, long
recognized as a characteristic of American culture, has morphed
into anti-rationalism as a surging force in American society that
threatens our collective commitment to rationality. A post-truth
world, however, is not an immutable condition and cannot be
accepted as the new norm. The author argues that American higher
education take responsibility for combating anti-rationalism by
promoting the development of student's personal attributes that
constitute a rational mind-set and rationalist identity, such that
they hold themselves accountable for commitments to seeking truth
and the value of critical thought and reasoned discourse as
defining element of their way of being in the world. Scholarship
exists across many disciplines regarding anti-intellectualism and
anti-rationalism in American society and the personal attributes
that together constitute a rational mind-set, including an
evaluativist personal epistemology, open-mindedness and
conscientiousness, and a rationalist identity. The author brings
the perspective of a psychologist to the analysis and synthesis of
this scholarship and the implications for educational practices
that are effective in promoting the development of student's
rational mind-set and rationalist identity necessary to combat
anti-rationalism and the post-truth world.
