Summary
Conservative skepticism of scientific authority-contesting evolution and the climate change consensus-is constantly in the news. But liberal humanists also have their doubts, targeting "scientistic" overreach. Andrew Jewett provides the first history of Americans' diverse and longstanding criticisms of science as a source of corrupt social values.
