The Resurgence of the Real: Body, Nature and Place in a Hypermodern World
The Resurgence of the Realis a fascinating proposal for correcting the ills of  contemporary society. On the one hand, it offers an eloquent critique of modernity's tendency toward  scientism and industrialism at the expense of holistic environmentalism. On the other hand, the distinction  drawn between modernism and postmodernism turns out to be simplistic and largely illusory, for although  Charlene Spretnak identifies her postmodernism as also "pre-modern," its origins and  articulation are part and parcel of the modernist project.  Still, her call to recover awareness of our context,  our relationships to others and to our environment, is not only valid but necessary to our survival.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
