"'Post-Truth' was Oxford Dictionary's 2016 word of the year.

ISBN-13: 978-1-84046-804-5, ISBN: 1-84046-804-1

"If you think Intelligent Design Theory (IDT) is merely the respectable face of Christian fundamentalism, and Evolution the only sensible scientific world-view, think again...IDT has driven science for 500 years. It was responsible for the 17th century's Scientific Revolution and helped build modern histories of physics, mathematics, genetics and social science. IDT's proponents take literally the Biblical idea that humans have been crea ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-135-37539-3, ISBN: 1-135-37539-9

ISBN-13: 978-0-7456-4122-5, ISBN: 0-7456-4122-9

"For centuries, science and religion have been portrayed as diametrically opposed. In this provocative new book, Steve Fuller examines the apparent clash between science and religion by focusing on the heated debates about evolution and intelligent design theory. In so doing, he claims that science vs. religion is in fact a false dichotomy. For Fuller, supposedly intellectual disputes, such as those between creationist and evolutionist a ..."

However, a good place to start would be with the eighteenth-century French scientific and philosophi ..."
