Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Bertrand Russell (18721970) was a logician, a philosopher, and one of the twentieth centurys most visible public intellectuals. Science and Apocalypse in Bertrand Russell: A Cultural Sociology brings those three aspects together to trace Russells changing views on the role of science and technology in society throughout his long intellectual career. Drawing from cultural sociology, history of science, and philosophy, Javier Perez-Jara and Lino Camprubi provide a fresh multidimensional analysis of the general themes of science, technology, utopia, and apocalypse. The book critically examines Russells influential interpretations of the turn-of-the-century mathematical logic, World War I, the metaphysics and epistemology of mind and matter, World War II, nuclear holocaust, and the Vietnam War. In Russells compelling narratives, humanity was a powder keg and the match was represented by different and successive meta-adversaries, such as religion, communism, and American imperialism. And the only way to avoid a coming global Holocaust was to follow his own salvific recipes.In working around Russells role in the cultural perception of the final destiny of humanity, Science and Apocalypse in Bertrand Russell invites the reader to think about the place of the techno-scientific sphere in human progress and decadence in both our current epoch and the distant future. This book weaves together apparently disconnected elements of Bertrand Russells philosophy and social activism into a coherent narrative about the acclaimed twentieth-century intellectuals evolving stances concerning science and technology and their role in bringing either a future Golden Age or a secular Doomsday.
