The Flight from Woman

Rating:
Summary: A very good comparison of difference in methods of knowing
Review: In Flight from Woman, psychiatrist Karl Stern gives a penetrating description of several modern philosophers from Rene Descartes to Jean Paul Sartre, and presents a fascinating contrast with the classical ways of knowing, which included poetry and religious faith. He does this drawing upon personal insights from a lifetime of practising psychiatry.
