The book presents a critical examination of contemporary practices in the social sciences and humanities, highlighting the detrimental effects of an inward-looking myopia among scholars. Ian Shapiro, known for his critique of rational choice theory, argues that this narrow focus leads to a disconnection from reality, affecting various academic disciplines. Through his analysis, he calls for a reevaluation of scholarly approaches to foster a more engaged and realistic understanding of social issues.
