In our age of partisan confidence and polarized punditry, Knowing Our Limits examines an urgent question: how much do we know about controversial issues over which intelligent people think differently? The book provides the tools we need to think circumspectly about our controversial opinions. The author updates a classical tradition of reasonable doubt and skepticism that includes Socrates, Montaigne, and Bertrand Russell, blending philosophical analysis with current ideas from the social and cognitive sciences.
