By that definition of "radical": painful and difficult to read, but
yielding enormous positive transformation, then for me Aldous Huxley's
"Heaven and Hell" (which contains "Doors of Perceptions"), Erich
Fromm's "To Have or to Be", Lewis Mumford's "Technics and
Civilization" and his "The Myth of the Machine". YMMV, but for me all
of these were "radical" in challenging my purely rational,
instrumental, and I think very limited ideas of knowledge, technology
and "progress" that I held as a younger scientist/engineer. |
