Intellectual Self-Defense Manual

Collection : Documento
Release date : 24/08/2017

Realizing that her students were capable of believing the most far-fetched news stories, if not the most horrifying, Sophie Mazet, a young teacher at one of France’s “Priority Education Zone” (ZEP) schools, created an “intellectual self-defense course” to train them in developing their critical thinking skills while having fun. The course was a success, and so adapting it into a manual for the general public naturally became a necessity. Composed of nine lessons embellished with a “paranoia alert” and a “toolbox,” this guide offers to teach readers how to decipher all forms of discourse, from political to “crunchy-green-organic,” by way of the languages of advertising, the media, TV series, pseudo-science, and conspiracy theorists and other extremists. A funny, accessible, and intelligent work that’s useful for everyone.
