Reviewer Comment - The book is a devastating expose of irrational -
non-rational - meandering pseudo-philosophy that has gripped the western world
since World War II with beginings after World War I. Dr/ Scruton disects both
what passes for thought and its authors. There are more examples included in
addition to those cited in the chapter headings.
