Taboo Issues in Social Science

Challenging the conventional wisdom in social sciences, this book delves into controversial topics deemed "taboo," including race, sex differences, intelligence, and violence. It critiques the prevalent advocacy research that often prioritizes conclusions over inquiry, highlighting the risks researchers face when integrating biological perspectives into their work. The author argues that an environment of speech codes and liberal bias stifles intellectual discourse, undermining the foundational values of academic freedom and the open exchange of diverse ideas.
