Shadows of the Enlightenment

The Hidden Politics and Ideology of the Natural and Social Sciences

Beschreibung

"Shadows of the Enlightenment sheds light on the deeply political agenda underlying Western science from the so-called "Age of Reason" to the present. George McCarthy uncovers the economic, social, and historical origins of modern science, and illuminates the a priori and innate features which furnish the justifications for the technical domination and control of nature and humanity"-- Provided by publisher.
