About the book
Garrett Hardin proposes a set of intellectual tools—"filters"—for evaluating information, claims, and ideas with greater critical rigor. The ecologist and thinker examines how a lack of questioning and systems thinking leads to erroneous conclusions and harmful decisions.
A practical guide to epistemology and critical thinking that helps us navigate the complexity of scientific, environmental, and social knowledge, developing discernment skills essential for citizens and decision-makers.
