📝 Description

Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity—and Why This Harms Everybody is a book co-authored by James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose. It traces the evolution of postmodern thought into the modern 'Social Justice' movement, arguing that these theories have moved from academic circles into mainstream institutions. The book provides a critical analysis of 'Critical Theory' and its impact on science, reason, and liberal democracy. Lindsay is a prominent critic of what he terms 'woke' ideology, and the book serves as a guide to understanding the philosophical roots of current cultural conflicts.
