The Abolition of Man

Why read it

• You will notice when a textbook or speaker quietly turns a claim about the world into a claim about feelings
• You will question what we mean by gaining power over nature, and ask who actually holds that power
• You will see why teaching children to debunk every value can wear down the society that accepts that teaching

Who it is for

• Teachers and parents deciding what schools should teach
• Readers uneasy about technology gaining power over people
• Anyone who suspects clever debunking has a cost
