What is The Great Schism: Scientific-Technological Modernity versus Greenpeace Civilization about?

Abstract Among the contested worldviews at play in world politics over the past several centuries, scientific technological modernity has been especially influential in transforming virtually every aspect of human life. It has fed a powerful future imaginary that, since the nineteenth century, has swollen to encompass the complete technological refashioning of the planet, reweaving the biological fabric of humanity, and expansion into the cosmos, and encompassing radically utopian and dystopian trajectories. The scientific-technological modernist project was initially linked to a technocratic vision of replacing politics with the administration of things. By the nineteenth century a debate emerged about whether liberal capitalism or universal socialism was best fitted to the new machine-based societies. As the civilization of scientific-technological modernity spread globally across the twentieth century, it began to face a great crisis, which has in turn generated a great internal schism, a battlefront of contestation that has increasingly defined world politics.
