Higher Superstition

"Higher Superstition: The Academic Left and Its Quarrels with Science" is a book written by Paul R. Gross and Norman Levitt, published in 1994. The authors critique what they perceive as the anti-scientific tendencies within certain segments of the academic left, particularly in the humanities and social sciences. They argue that this "higher superstition" manifests through a rejection of objective scientific knowledge in favor of relativism and social constructivism.
