Summary, etc. | The Making of a<br/>Counter Culture<br/>THEODORE ROSZAK<br/>'Most of what is presently happening that is<br/>new, provocative and engaging in politics,<br/>education, the arts, social relations (love,<br/>courtship, family, community) is the creation<br/>either of youth who are profoundly, even<br/>fanatically, alienated from the parental genera-<br/>tion, or of those who address themselves<br/>primarily to the young.<br/>Starting from this premise, Theodore Roszak<br/>examines in detail some of the leading in-<br/>fluences on the youthful counter, culture<br/>Herbert Marcuse and Norman Brown, Allen<br/>Ginsberg and Alan Watts, Timothy Leary,<br/>Paul Goodman-and shows how each has<br/>helped to call into question the conventional<br/>scientific world view and in so doing has set<br/>about undermining the foundations of the<br/>technocracy.<br/>He then turns his attention to 'the myth of<br/>objective consciousness', and suggests that a<br/>culture which subordinates or degrades<br/>visionary experience commits the sin of<br/>diminishing our existence. For the question<br/>facing us is not 'How shall we know?' but<br/>'How shall we live?' And in finding the<br/>answer we must reconstitute the magical<br/>world view from which human creativity and<br/>community derive. So that, finally, the<br/>'<br/>primary project of our counter culture is to<br/>proclaim a new heaven and a new earth so<br/>vast, so marvellous that the inordinate claims<br/>of technical expertise must of necessity with-<br/>draw to a subordinate and marginal status in<br/>the lives of men.' |
