Uncover the hidden politics and ideology shaping Western science in ‘Shadows of Enlightenment: The Hidden Politics and Ideology of the Natural and Social Sciences’ by George McCarthy. This compelling book, available at The Bookish Owl, reveals how economic and social forces from the Age of Reason onwards have intertwined with scientific development. Explore the origins of modern science, its capitalist roots, and its role in justifying the control of nature and humanity. McCarthy critiques the mechanistic view of nature and, drawing on Marx and Engels, proposes a new, liberatory postmodern science rooted in social justice. Discover a fresh perspective on science, technology, and our place in the world. A must-read for those interested in the philosophy of science, political theory, and social justice.
