Description

In Science and Poetry, Mary Midgley examines the consequences of a 17th century scientific inheritance. She critiques the rise of crude materialism, the reduction of mind to body, and extreme individualism that results from looking at parts of existence rather than the whole. Midgley cuts through myths of scientific omnipotence to show how these views have shaped our modern world and created significant problems. She argues that the arts and poetry are necessary to reconcile these issues. By looking beyond the narrow view of one-eyed specialists, Midgley suggests we can find a more balanced understanding of our existence. This Routledge Classics edition provides a deep look into the relationship between scientific thought and the human experience.
