Description

Beneath the scientist’s rational, objective surface, Roszak finds a maelstrom of repressed sexual biases & gender stereotypes. Far from a purely objective view of the natural world, science is suffused with sexual politics. And the result is a culture at risk from global warming, nuclear proliferation, toxic waste, genetic engineering, & more. Modern scientists have subjected nature to a typically masculine drive to control & exploit. Centuries of male domination have distorted not only scientific R&D, but also our relationship to one another & to the natural world. Roszak envisions a new, gender-free science that respects our community with nature, & promises a healthier, more sustainable relationship between ourselves & the world we inhabit.
