A review by thbevilacqua
The Age of American Unreason by Susan Jacoby

2.0

While there are certain aspects of the book that I disagreed with (even to a profound degree), overall I found Jacoby's book to be a thoughtful diagnosis of the issues in America regarding our lack of intellectual curiosity as well as the degree to which we have become conditioned to not trust those who present themselves as intellectuals. This book addresses a problem in American society that, sadly, persists to this day.
