Are you living in someone else's reality?
We like to think that what we "know" is objective?a collection of neutral facts we've gathered about the world. But what if the very foundations of our knowledge are contaminated? In this groundbreaking and provocative book, acclaimed sociologist [Author Name] reveals how what we accept as truth is often the product of hidden ideologies designed to maintain power and control.
Uncover the Invisible Architecture of Your Mind
Crisis of Knowledge is a fearless expedition into the dark heart of modern thought. You will discover:
How scientific reductionism and Cartesian dualism severed our connection to the world, leaving it disenchanted and ripe for exploitation.
The ways capitalist logic has reshaped our institutions, turning schools into factories for "human capital" and reducing our deepest relationships to transactional exchanges.
The hidden curricula in our families and workplaces that teach conformity, hierarchy, and competition, pathologizing any resistance as a personal failing.
How the myth of objectivity and the "view from nowhere" has been used to silence marginalized voices and legitimize oppression.
More Than a Critique?A Pathway to Liberation

Indigenous epistemologies and feminist ethics of care that prioritize reciprocity and relationship over extraction and domination.
