by Karl Rogers (Author)
In this critique of science, technology, and civilization, Karl Rogers questions the preconceived notions of the philosophy of science, shows them to be inadequate, and challenges us to rethink science and the mechanistic conception of Nature it entails.Moving beyond the philosophy of science, and taking insights from history, anthropology, sociology, and psychology, as well as many important philosophical thinkers, Rogers explains the origins of science and the reductionistic metaphysics on which it depends. He explains why it has led to an impoverished view of Nature as something valued only in terms of its instrumentality as a material substratum for human existence. As an alternative, the author calls for a deeper and more meaningful ecological and spiritual conception of the natural world.Published by Trébol Presswww.trebolpress.com
