Neither celebrating science and technology uncritically, nor dismissing them, the Dialectic instead mounts a passionate call to the Left to give up its dangerous romanticization of nature and ‘rather than breast-beating about the immorality of scientific research’ focus radical energies on ‘demands for control of scientific discoveries by and for the people’ (179). In fact, Firestone argues, the current stage of male-dominated empiricism is only ‘to culture … what the bourgeois period is to the Marxian dialectic’ – a period whose manifest contradictions contain the potential to generate revolution (163). There will therefore be a cultural revolution in addition to an economic and sexual one, and it is one that will bring about ‘the reintegration of the Male (Technological Mode) with the Female (Aesthetic Mode), to create an androgynous culture surpassing the highs of either’ (174).
