Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Have you read that certain people shouldn't practice yoga? Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only White people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed to challenge the logic of Western society? In this probing volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs these ideas, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields.

Impressive, informative, and compelling

I was really impressed by this book. I went in expecting a sort of diatribe against critical theory that would be as ideological as its target, but this was not the case at all. To be sure, the authors clearly fight this ideology with another one, liberalism, but they do point out what is distinct about liberalism, primarily that it is self-correcting. I both learned a ton about critical theory and gained deeper appreciation for the necessity of liberalism.
