What is The Flight from Woman about?
Dr. Stern's The Flight from Woman is a study of the polarity of the sexes as reflected in the conflict between two modes of knowledge—scientific or rational, as contrasted with intuitive or poetic. In ex¬ploring this rich theme, he undertakes the psychological portraits of six representative figures whose thought and work have influenced modern man: Descartes, Goethe, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Tol¬stoy, and Sartre. The scientific revolution of the last 300 years has yielded, in Dr. Stern's view, a de-feminization and de-humanization of society, in the sense that it is a rejection of the kind of wisdom, called sophia, the man comprehends intuitively. "If we equate the one-sidedly ra¬tional and technical with the masculine," he states, "there arises the ghastly specter of a world impoverished of womanly values." A deeply original work, The Flight from Woman goes far beyond psychology in its analysis of the malaise of our time.
