Question Authority : A Polemic About Trust in Five Meditations. by Kingwell, Mark.;
In 'Question Authority', Mark Kingwell scrutinizes what happens when a global crisis in authority results in the spread of know-it-all-ism, and how a general mistrust of experts can lead to the spread of conspiracy theories in the name of doing your own research. Touching on the worlds of politics, academia, journalism, medicine, religion, and science, Kingwell advocates for a philosophy of compassionate skepticism". In often playful prose, this book thoroughly outlines how the countercultural cry to think for yourself has resulted in the decline of civil discourse. Kingwell lives in Toronto, ON.Library Bound Incorporated
