Dara Ó Briain presents The Age of Reason: How Logic Can Save Us...Again
The world in which we live faces the most serious challenges in almost every realm: social, economic, political, environmental...
Many of the horrendous problems that humanity has created for itself, and the planet we inhabit, have their roots in bad practice and bad ideas, based on bad thinking.
That is not to say 'evil' thinking, but rather thinking that is unscientific, illogical, and prone to fallacies of all sorts.
Dara Ó Briain and a panel of scientists and thinkers take a humorous journey through logic, reason and scientific thinking to see how their use solved problems in the past.
They will also take an illustrated look at where their absence has caused disaster.
And they examine how we can all learn from those mistakes to fix things broken by bad thinking.
Scientific thinking is not just for scientists, you know.
