Western Culture, Reason and Masculinity
20 Mar 1998
Format:Paperback
This book explores the way that masculinity has been constructed in Western culture around the primacy of reason. The author argues that only by legitimizing emotion and intuition will Western men be able to liberate themselves from the chains of their own construction (and inheritance). Given this argument the book becomes repetitive. An interesting aspect of the book is the way that it points out how leftist liberation movements in the West made the same mistake of giving primacy to reason and generating suspicion of intuition and emotion that the traditionalists whom they criticized did. In many ways it is a more interesting study of the centrality of the ideal of reason in Western culture than it is a study of masculinity.
