Inquiry: Susan Jacoby:21st Century THE AGE OF AMERICAN UNREASON.

After listening to your local “talk” radio, or watching any “reality” TV show or listening to most politicians speak, do you ever get the feeling that we suffer from endemic anti-intellectual tendencies? Why does there seem to be a permanent fault line between faith and rationalism in America? Do you ever get the feeling, as Bill Moyers once lamented, that “the delusional is no longer marginal”? Tonight on Inquiry we speak with writer, historian SUSAN JACOBY about her stinging indictment of what passes for American culture in the 21st Century THE AGE OF AMERICAN UNREASON.
