Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. I came to this book by way of Michael Shellenberger's recent book on environmental alarmism. At the time the Unabomber was caught his ideas were still on the fringe and considered countercultural but now the situation is inverted. The author's specialty is curriculum which means also philosophy and intellectual history. If Jacques Barzun interests you you will want to read this book.

"On the basis of research and much previously unpublished material, Alston Chase presents a radically new interpretation of the infamous Unabomber. He projects Ted Kaczynski's life against the sinister backdrop of the Cold War, when the prospect of nuclear conflict generated on college campuses a fear of technology and a culture of despair. On those same campuses, federal agencies enlisted psychologists in a covert search for technologies of mind control and encouraged ethically questionable experiments of unwitting students." "Harvard and the Unabomber is both a page-turner and a cautionary tale about modern evil. The conditions that provoked Kaczynski's alienation remain in place. In fact, they may be getting worse, as the War on Terrorism replaces the Cold War in American policy and imagination."--BOOK JACKET. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
