| Summary: | "Outlines the origin and evolution of postmodern thought over the last half century and argues that the unchecked spread and application of postmodern ideas -- from academia, to activist circles, to the public at large - presents an authoritarian ideological threat not only to liberal democracy but also to modernity itself"-- Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only white people can be racist? Pluckrose and Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs ideas like these, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields. Pluckrose and Lindsay warn that the unchecked proliferation of anti-Enlightenment beliefs present a threat not only to liberal democracy but also to modernity itself. -- adapted from jacket |

Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Have you read that cer tain people shouldn’t practice yoga or cook Chinese food? Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biologi cal sex, or that only white people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed so quickly to challenge the very logic of Western society? In Cynical Theories, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma behind these ideas, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refine ment within activist academic fields. Today this dogma is recognizable as much by its ef fects, such as cancel culture and social-media dogpiles, as by its tenets, which are all too often embraced as axiomatic in mainstream media: knowledge is a social construct; science and reason are tools of oppression; all human inter actions are sites of oppressive power play; and language is dangerous. As they warn, the un checked proliferation of these anti-Enlightenment beliefs present a threat not only to liberal democracy but also to modernity itself. While acknowledging the need to challenge the complacency of those who think a just so ciety has been fully achieved, Pluckrose and Lindsay break down how this often-radical activist scholarship does far more harm than good, not least to those marginalized commu nities it claims to champion. They also detail its alarmingly inconsistent and illiberal ethics. Only through a proper understanding of the evolution of these ideas, they conclude, can those
who value science, reason, and consis tently liberal ethics successfully challenge this harmful and authoritarian orthodoxy—in the academy, in culture, and beyond.
