商品描述

Case studies, personal accounts, and analysis show how to recognize and combat pseudoscience in a post-truth world.

In a post-truth, fake news world, we are particularly susceptible to the claims of pseudoscience. When emotions and opinions are more widely disseminated than scientific findings, and self-proclaimed experts get their expertise from Google, how can the average person distinguish real science from fake? This book examines pseudoscience from a variety of perspectives, through case studies, analysis, and personal accounts that show how to recognize pseudoscience, why it is so widely accepted, and how to advocate for real science.

Contributors examine the basics of pseudoscience, including issues of cognitive bias; the costs of pseudoscience, with accounts of naturopathy and logical fallacies in the anti-vaccination movement; perceptions of scientific soundness; the mainstream presence of "integrative medicine," hypnosis, and parapsychology; and the use of case studies and new media in science advocacy.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

案例研究、個人敘述和分析顯示如何在後真相的世界中識別和對抗偽科學。

在一個後真相、假新聞的世界中，我們特別容易受到偽科學主張的影響。當情感和意見的傳播超過科學發現，而自稱專家的專業知識來自於 Google 時，普通人如何能夠區分真實科學與偽科學？本書從多個角度探討偽科學，通過案例研究、分析和個人敘述，展示如何識別偽科學、為何它如此廣泛被接受，以及如何倡導真實科學。

貢獻者探討了偽科學的基本概念，包括認知偏見的問題；偽科學的成本，並舉例說明自然療法和反疫苗運動中的邏輯謬誤；對科學可靠性的認知；「整合醫學」、催眠和超心理學的主流存在；以及在科學倡導中使用案例研究和新媒體。
