Of Ying and Yang

Fritjof Capra (1982)

"Our progress, then, has been largely a rational and intellectual affair, and this one-sided evolution has now rached a highly alaraming stage, a situation so paradoxical that it borders insanity. We can control the soft landings of space craft on distant planets, but we are unable to control the polluting fumes emanating from our cars and factories. We propose Utopian communities in gigantic space colonies, results of overemphasizing our 'yang', or masculine side - rational knowledge, analysis, expansion - and neglecting our 'ying' or feminine side - intuitive, wisdom, synthesis and ecological awareness."
