| 520 | |a Many people love what's "natural": they say it is the best way to eat, to parent, even to act-- naturally, just as nature intended. Levinovitz demonstrates that "natural goodness" is not objective or scientific. These beliefs are actually religious and highlights the many dangers of substituting simple myths for complicated realities. It can lead to condemnations of 'unnatural' sexual activity; guilt from not having a 'natural' birth. He provides a perspective that shatters faith in Nature's goodness. We can love nature without worshipping it, and we can work toward a better world with humility and dialogue rather than taboos and zealotry. -- adapted from jacket | ||
