Description
Discover a revolutionary perspective on scientific research in "Another Science is Possible" by acclaimed philosopher Isabelle Stengers. This thought-provoking book critiques the current fast-paced, market-driven approach to science that mirrors the shortcomings of fast food – quickly prepared and lacking in substance. Stengers argues for a paradigm shift in scientific inquiry, emphasizing the need to slow down and engage with societal concerns rather than promoting a myth of inevitable progress. Facing pressing global issues requires an interdisciplinary approach that acknowledges the interconnectedness of research and social needs. In this new era, transparency, collaboration, and public engagement are paramount. This book is essential for students, scholars, and policy makers interested in the philosophy of science, the challenges of scientific communication, and the importance of addressing public concerns. Uncover how an alternative science can reshape our understanding and application of knowledge to truly benefit society. With 220 pages of insightful commentary published by John Wiley & Sons, this book is a must-have for anyone invested in the future of science and its critical role in addressing contemporary issues.
