The Death Of Expertise: The Campaign Against Established Knowledge And Why It Matters

Tom Nichols - Personal Name;

In The Death of Expertise, Tom Nichols explores the alarming trend of people rejecting established knowledge and professional expertise. He examines how the democratization of information, fueled by the internet and a 24-hour news cycle, has led many to believe that their own opinions are just as valid as the findings of experts in fields like medicine, science, and public policy. Nichols argues that this widespread skepticism towards expertise is not just a cultural shift but a threat to democracy itself, as a functional society relies on a foundation of shared facts and a respect for those who have dedicated their lives to mastering complex subjects.
