The Pequod Review:

Paul Boghossian's Fear of Knowledge is a clear and lucid argument against relativistic epistemology. The book is written for a popular audience, but it still retains intellectual depth as Boghossian reviews the history of relativism, the reasons why so many academics find it persuasive, and what is at stake as we move toward a “post-fact” society.
