Colonization of Human Reason by Scientific–Instrumental Rationality and Global Environmental Crisis
Dr. Jatinder Kumar Sharma
Abstract :
There has been a fracturing of human-nature relationship in recent civilizational history. Humans have waged a one sided \'war\' against nature for \'victory\' over it that has resulted in grave environmental crisis. During the second half of last century, when environmental problems were first recognized, they were identified as less important problems having local significance only. But today it cannot be denied that these are global problems and at stake is the future of our planet as well as species. The need is being felt to overcome the victory over nature. The paper argues that this can be done only by resisting the colonization of life-world by the instrumental rationality and inculcating an ecological rationality based on all the three spheres of reason, namely, instrumental, ethical and aesthetical.
