Rationally Speaking is a web site devoted to rational discourse on science, philosophy, social and political issues. This blog is a companion to the web site and is maintained by Massimo Pigliucci with the editorial help of Phil Pollack. Announcements concerning Rationally Speaking can be obtained by subscribing to the RS Google Group. While you are at it, you may want to check out Massimo's science site, his philosophy site, or his books. The full collection of the original Rationally Speaking columns that preceded this blog is available for download.
The central idea of this blog is that a public intellectual, in the words of Enlightenment philosopher Marquis de Condorcet, should devote him or herself to “the tracking down of prejudices in the hiding places where priests, the schools, the government and all long-established institutions had gathered and protected them.”
