The symmetry of Dante, medicine of Paracelsus and science of Goethe form the background for this investigation of the modernist regime — its truth and method, pure and applied, its science of vivisection and technology of obsolescence.  The leading hypothesis is that the self, the world and the other can have better relations in the future than they have had in the modern past, from the new Eucharist to the bomb.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUberoi begins with an exploration of the origins of modernity in European science and religion, and proceeds to a discussion of the end of modernity.  In the latter part of the book, he analyses society and selfhood, the Manhattan project, and the politics of language and pluralism in India.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book completes the trilogy that Uberoi began with ‘Science and Culture (OUP 1978) and ‘The Other Mind of Europe (OUP 1984) and is an important contribution to the history and philosophy of science.  It is essential reading for students and scholars of sociology, philosophy, science, and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eList of plates\u003cbr\u003eList of figures\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 1\u003cbr\u003eSYMMETRY AND THE HERMETIC TRADITION\u003cbr\u003eThe Vision of Dante\u003cbr\u003eThe Hermetic Tradition\u003cbr\u003eParacelsus\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: male and female\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 2\u003cbr\u003eTHE BODY OF CHRIST AND THE ORIGIN OF MODERNITY\u003cbr\u003eThe problem of the origin of modernity\u003cbr\u003eThe Marburg colloquy (1529)\u003cbr\u003eThe new religion and dualism of mind and the world\u003cbr\u003eScience under the modern regime\u003cbr\u003ePostscript\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 3\u003cbr\u003eTHE OTHER SCIENCE OF NATURE IN EUROPE\u003cbr\u003eThe problem and the framework\u003cbr\u003eAt the frontier: the human body\u003cbr\u003eThe science of colors\u003cbr\u003eThe radical European underground\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 4\u003cbr\u003eTHE MANHATTAN PROJECT AND THE END OF MODERNITY\u003cbr\u003eThe Manhattan project (1945)\u003cbr\u003eThe science of vivisection\u003cbr\u003eThe technology of obsolescence in war and peace\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: the world system\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 5\u003cbr\u003eSELF AND OTHER: DUALISM AND NON-DUALISM\u003cbr\u003eOpposition and mediation\u003cbr\u003ePluralism, civil society and the state\u003cbr\u003eUnity in variety \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReferences Cited\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"J P S Uberoi \/ Oxford University Press \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153493062000,"sku":"8552","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/8552.jpg?v=1793910348","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/the-european-modernity","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
