Unreasonable Men: Masculinity and Social Theory (Male Orders) Book

Under this belief system, emotions are deemed to be too ``personal'' and ``subjective'' when contrasted with the ostensible objectivity of reason and are thus discounted as forms of knowledge. The dominant forms of social theory promote universal and impersonal conceptions of reason which, however, discount the value of experience, treating it as the mere effect of language.Read More
