«El ataque contra la razón» is the political essay by Albert Gore, published by Debate in hardcover (334 pages, in Spanish).
Al Gore denounces how the politics of fear, secrecy and blind faith erode democracy and sideline experts on issues such as Iraq, climate change or the public deficit. The degradation of public debate leaves less room for reason and truth in US decisions, with risks for the rest of the world.
The original work of «El ataque contra la razón» is «The Assault on Reason»; the Spanish edition was published in 2007 and its cover mentions the 2007 Prince of Asturias Award.
For readers of political essays and social philosophy, as well as for those who follow the work of Al Gore.
