Science, Hegemony and Violence: A Requiem for Modernity

This volume presents six essays by leading sociologists, philosophers, physicists, and environmental activists that examine the links between science and violence from the Baconian era to the present day. It looks at two basic issues: science as it provides a new justification for state violence; and science as violent technological intervention, invading and disrupting stable patterns of private life in the name of progress and development.Nandy, Ashis is the author of 'Science, Hegemony and Violence: A Requiem for Modernity' with ISBN 9780195622201 and ISBN 0195622200.
