Meer over het boek

Challenging the separation of feeling and thinking, Donovan O. Schaefer presents "cogency theory" to explore how affective processes shape rationality. He analyzes historical events like Darwinian controversies and the Scopes Trial, connecting them to modern issues such as climate denialism and eugenics. Schaefer argues that emotions influence scientific rationality, revealing how feelings underpin both scientific success and failure. Ultimately, he asserts that science, secularism, and reason are deeply intertwined with emotional experiences, redefining our understanding of these concepts.
