Thinking About Thinking

About this book

Because we need to know how clearly about our social thinking and how to resist the allure of self-deception everyone skeptical about or confused by the findings of the social sciences will appreciate Antony Flews crisp analysis of the methodological flaws and systematic misunderstandings corrupting their content and application. Thinking About Social Thinking seeks to establish what can and cannot be learned from such studies indicating where good work has been ignored or much-needed work has yet to be done. Flews clear and incisive arguments are illustrated with abundant examples and references -- many entertaining others surprising. Flew issues a refreshing impassioned warning against the perils of complacent muddled thinking and false but comfortable conclusions.
