As scientific expertise became entangled with political motivations, the public-health establishment found itself mired in political encampment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e It was, as Sandro Galea argues, a crisis of liberalism: a retreat from the principles of free speech, open debate, and the pursuit of knowledge through reasoned inquiry that should inform the work of public health. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Across fifty essays, \u003ci\u003eWithin Reason\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles how public health became enmeshed in the insidious social trends that accelerated under Covid-19. Galea challenges this intellectual drift towards intolerance and absolutism while showing how similar regressions from reason undermined social progress during earlier eras. \u003ci\u003eWithin Reason\u003c\/i\u003e builds an incisive case for a return to critical, open inquiry as a guiding principle for the future public health we want--and a future we must work to protect. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandro Galea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226822915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226822914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Sandro Galea","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44321195163903,"sku":"9780226822914","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_615b5867-56b9-4323-a1ba-5d2489ea7d45.jpg?v=1696329613","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/within-reason-sandro-galea-9780226822914","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
