Rövid leírás:
This book is about the abuse of scientific authority and the spread of pseudoscience into almost all facets of our everyday lives. Readers learn how popular sciences of everything from dating and economics, to voting and artificial intelligence have radically changed the world we live in. No part of modern society remains untouched by the abuse of popular scientific authority, which played a role in the 2008 economic crisis, the failure to predict the rise of Trump, and various other major tensions in our society. But this book also offers readers a way out of the culture of scientism. The hermeneutic or interpretive approach promises to free ordinary people from pseudoscience and helps them become better readers of both the many claims to science around us as well as the cultural spaces we inhabit and help to create.

Over the last fifty years, pseudoscience has crept into nearly every facet of our lives. Popular sciences of everything from dating and economics, to voting and artificial intelligence, radically changed the world today. The abuse of popular scientific authority has catastrophic consequences, contributing to the 2008 financial crisis; the failure to predict the rise of Donald Trump; increased tensions between poor communities and the police; and the sidelining of nonscientific forms of knowledge and wisdom. In We Built Reality, Jason Blakely explains how recent social science theories have not simply described political realities but also helped create them. But he also offers readers a way out of the culture of scientism: hermeneutics, or the art of interpretation. Hermeneutics urges sensitivity to the historical and cultural contexts of human behavior. It gives ordinary people a way to appreciate the insights of the humanities in guiding decisions. As Blakely contends, we need insights from the humanities to see how social science theories never simply neutrally describe reality, they also help build it.
[Jason Blakely] achieves something quite remarkable in this little book. He convincingly makes an ambitious argument which has significant implications for how we consider the role of expertise, narrative, and ideology across our societies ... I would encourage everyone interested in social policy particularly or social science generally to read this book. It will provoke fruitful thinking and open up new perspectives.
