Synopsis

This study examines the possibility of establishing a justified and coherent foundation for our understanding of the world and ourselves. With science's objective knowledge facing challenges and rational thought being critiqued by postmodernism, higher education finds itself in a vulnerable position. The book explores this crisis of confidence within science and academia, detailing how thinkers across various disciplines are responding and re-evaluating their methods of inquiry.
