Darwin Day In America Released in Expanded Updated Second Edition
Contact: Tessa Rath, Discovery Institute, 206-292-0401 ext 107, trath@discovery.org
SEATTLE, Feb. 3, 2015 /Standard Newswire/ -- Darwin Day in America tells the disturbing story of scientific expertise run amuck, exposing how ideological interpretations of Darwinian biology and reductionist science have been used to degrade American culture and fuel a relentless march from democracy to technocracy in criminal justice, welfare, business, education, and bioethics.
In the expanded edition of Darwin Day in America (ISI Books, 2015, www.darwindayinamerica.com), John G. West describes the growing misuse of science in America to curtail basic freedoms, erode time-honored ethics, and circumvent democratic accountability. The paperback edition includes a brand new chapter titled "Scientism in the Age of Obama—and Beyond."
"Our culture is witnessing the rise of what could be called totalitarian science—science so totalistic in its outlook that its defenders claim the right to remake every sphere of human life, from public policy and education to ethics and religion," says West. "Science is a wonderful enterprise, but during the Obama era, it's being twisted in ways that are unhealthy for both science and society."
Based on extensive research with primary sources and archival materials, West reveals how American politics and culture have been corrupted by a massive abuse of science. West's narrative explores the far-reaching consequences for society when scientists and politicians deny the essential differences between human beings and the rest of nature. It also exposes the disastrous results that ensue when experts claiming to speak for science turn out to be wrong.
West is a Vice President of Discovery Institute where he is Associate Director of the Center for Science and Culture. The former Chair of the Department of Political Science at Seattle Pacific University, West holds a Ph.D. in Government from Claremont Graduate University. He is the author or editor of a dozen books, including Darwin's Conservatives: The Misguided Quest and The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society. He is also the writer/director of several documentaries, including The War on Humans and Privileged Species.
Dr. West has been interviewed by Time, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post, Fox News, CNN, the Michael Medved Show, and many other media outlets. In 2015, his documentary Biology of the Second Reich was named "Best Documentary Short" by the Los Angeles Cinema Festival of Hollywood.
