Excerpt from Modern Idols: Studies in Biography and Criticism An idol is an object set up to be worshipped. The aim of this book is to examine, not to destroy or mutilate the idols under review. The sketches are not given to detail, but it is believed that certain just discriminations of char acter and genius are here made that will not be found elsewhere. And in this belief the work is modestly committed to the candid judgment of the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Idols of Modernity draws upon the work of early thinkers in the sociology of knowledge such as Karl Mannheim in an effort to delineate the history of--and unmask the ideology behind--many of the formative aspects of scientific knowledge that enjoy both a central and potentially controversial role in the twenty-first century. In touching upon the role of imagination and speculation in the 'hardest' sciences, normative disputes between biological and social sciences, and the intellectual history of modern science, I attempt to reveal the humanity of science. In examining the democratization of the written word, the profound consequences of language as disciplinary gatekeeper, implications for the humanities and sciences of a methodologically pluralistic sociology, threats to human agency issued forth by the trend toward medicalizing deviance, and finally, the role of the intellectual in society and history, I probe the promise, and problems, faced by a science of humanity.
