Reenchanted Science

Meer over het boek

Set in the 1920s, this analysis explores the emergence of a holistic science in Central Europe as a response to the mechanistic worldview of natural science. It examines how this new approach aimed to restore meaning and purpose to human existence, contrasting with earlier scientific reductions. The narrative delves into the complex political implications of holism, revealing that its connections to Nazism were not predetermined but rather shaped by evolving social and political dynamics, intertwining themes of healing and ideology.
