Thinking Fair: Rules for Reason in Science and Religion - Paperback

by Lucas John Mix (Author)

"We forget that the wisdom of the ages started as wisdom of the moment. The Age of Reason required an Age of Discovery. Reason must be more than getting from point A to point B. It should challenge us to understand the ground we're covering. It should show us things we never looked for and teach us about the people we meet." Lucas Mix explores how we think and how we achieve our goals in this provocative and engaging exploration of what it means to think fairly, both alone and in groups. Dr. Mix brings together his work as an evolutionary biologist at Harvard, a priest of the Episcopal Church, and a martial arts teacher to show us what it means to play the game of reason. What are the rules and who decides? The book gives us a glance into what it means to be engaged in the search for truth, wherever it leads.
