As scientific expertise became entangled with political motivations, the public-health establishment found itself mired in political encampment.\u003c\/p\u003e \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 \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","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43899929919685,"sku":"","price":43.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/Within_20Reason.jpg?v=1722312581","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/within-reason-a-liberal-public-health-for-an-illiberal-time","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
