As scientific expertise became entangled with political motivations, the public-health establishment found itself mired in political encampment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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\n\n\u003cp\u003eAcross 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\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46835341230316,"sku":"9780226822914","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20457423482268.jpg?v=1758544155","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/within-reason-by-sandro-galea-9780226822914","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
