Loren Eiseley
*Eiseley, Loren. The Man Who Saw Through Time—Francis Bacon and the Modern Dilemma (1961). Excellent background essay.

Alister McGrath
*McGrath, Alister. Dawkin’s God—Genes, Memes, and the Meaning of Life (2005). The most comprehensive critique I know of the work of neo-Darwinian sophist Richard Dawkins.

Thorstein Veblen
*Veblen, Thorstein. The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899). See especially the chapter titled "The Higher Learning as an Expression of the Pecuniary Culture."

This list will be expanded as time goes by. Feel free to suggest additions.
