INTELLECTUAL STRUGGLES:
WRITINGS ON POWER, SCIENCE AND AND MYTH

By Mark Koslow

 

     This section of the website is unfinished. These writings were done between 1992 and the present.  These writings are explorative and are concerned with areas that relate in one way or another to questions about power, religion, science and human rights. They are difficult pieces in many cases, reflecting the conflicts and struggles that inspired their writing. Because they are long meditations on problematical issues I don't recommended these to many people. These are really records of battles I have fought and sides I have taken for or against ideas and tendencies I have encountered. After 1997 I became much more concerned with science and nature's rights, and admire 'citizen science' akin to social history. I am not done editing most of these. So there are many mistakes and things in need of correction. Please forgive these and notify me if there are errors of fact.
