His pen, dipped in satire, aroused an apathetic, disinterested, and uninformed public to indignation and action more than once. The most notable Nast campaign, and probably the one best recorded today, was directed against New York City's Tammany Hall and its boss, William Marcy Tweed. Boss Tweed and his ring so feared the power of Nast and his drawings that they once offered hi 606 $aCartoonists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aCartoonists 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCartoonists 615 0$aCartoonists. 676 $a741.50924 700 $aVinson$b John Chalmers$01000678 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464883803321 996 $aThomas Nast$92296900 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05657nam 22006255 450 001 9910796753903321 005 20211020232953.0 010 $a0-8122-9486-6 024 7 $a10.9783/9780812294866 035 $a(CKB)4100000004818290 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5380465 035 $a(DE-B1597)494842 035 $a(OCoLC)1027218488 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780812294866 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000004818290 100 $a20180924d2018 fg 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aMastery of Nature $ePromises and Prospects /$fSvetozar Y.

Humanity would seize control of its own fate and overthrow the rule by hostile natural or imaginary forces. The gradual spread of liberal democratic government, the Enlightenment, and the rise of technological modernity are to a considerable extent the fruits of this early modern shift in intellectual concern and focus. But these long-term trends have also brought unintended consequences in their wake as the dynamic forces of social reason, historical progress, and the continued recalcitrance of the natural world have combined to disillusion humans of the possibility-even the desirability-of their mastery over nature.The essays in Mastery of Nature constitute an extensive analysis of the fundamental aspects of the human grasp of nature. What is the foundation and motive of the modern project in the first place? What kind of a world did its early advocates hope to bring about? Contributors not only examine the foundational theories espoused by early modern thinkers such as Machiavelli, Bacon, Descartes, and Hobbes but also explore the criticisms and corrections that appeared in the works of Rousseau, Kant, Nietzsche, and Heidegger. Ranging from ancient Greek thought to contemporary quantum mechanics, Mastery of Nature investigates to what extent nature can be conquered to further human ends and to what extent such mastery is compatible with human flourishing.
