Science-based thinking among enlightened humanities scholars is now part of public culture and Goldstein is one of the writers leading the way.

Enlightened? That's a laugh. The humanities surrendered to science fifty years ago. That's why the English department is now a sub-department of the anthropology department. Multicuturalism is the English instructor thinking he is a cultural anthropoligist in the field, only describing objectively what he finds. Heaven forbid if he should use real criticism, as opposed to the cliche that goes by that name today, to form judgments about want he sees and experiences.

The number of humanities people of Goldstein's quality is not as large as one would wish, that's for sure.

Who says that anthro pology is "science? : Science as economics is science, maybe.
