Book Science  argent et politique

Download or read book Science argent et politique written by Dominique Pestre and published by Editions Quae. This book was released on 2003 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les sciences ont toujours intéressé les pouvoirs, qu'ils soient économiques ou politiques, et leurs développements ont toujours été marqués par eux. Inversement les sciences ont souvent offert des outils neufs permettant aux puissants de transformer radicalement la nature et les sociétés. Dans ce livre, cette thèse est étayée par une relecture des régimes de production des savoirs qui ont marqué l'Occident, et de leurs effets sur nos rapports au monde et à la nature.

Book L Etat et la science

Book excerpt: Cette recherche, menée dans les termes de la science politique, porte principalement sur la France et les Etat-Unis. La comparaison de systèmes socio-politiques différents permet d'apprecier la constitution des enjeux, la définition des registres discursifs, la logique des systèmes d'action qui nourissent la science et la technologie. La mise en évidence de régulations institutionnelles offre alors la clé d'une nouvelle compréhension des rapports entre science et politique.

Book Conflits des interpr  tations dans la soci  t   de l information     thique et politique de l environnement  Trait   des sciences et techniques de l information

Download or read book Conflits des interpr tations dans la soci t de l information thique et politique de l environnement Trait des sciences et techniques de l information written by CHARDEL Pierre-Antoine and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La montée des préoccupations environnementales coïncide avec la facilité d'accès à des éléments de connaissance qui sont censés favoriser une perception plus aiguë des problématiques écologiques. Or, cela ne suffit pas à générer des comportements plus responsables envers la nature et les générations à venir. Il est nécessaire de reconsidérer la question environnementale à l'heure de nouvelles médiations informationnelles pour pouvoir composer un monde commun avec une pluralité de régimes d'attention. Les analyses transdisciplinaires qui composent cet ouvrage abordent ensemble les conflits interprétatifs relatifs aux problèmes environnementaux et les environnements médiatiques, dans toute leur hétérogénéité et leur nouveauté. L'analyse de l'exposition des subjectivités individuelles et collectives aux flux informationnels permet ici de mieux comprendre ce que serait une gouvernance réflexive. Conflits des interprétations dans la société de l'information permet de répondre adéquatement à une éthique et une politique de l'environnement.

Book Science et politique

Download or read book Science et politique written by Alain Jenny and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science et Politique relèvent de genres différents. Tout, en effet, semble les opposer : vérités recherchées, fins poursuivies, méthodes utilisées... A l'évidence les situations. rencontrées, les domaines explorés ne sont pas les mêmes, ni davantage les risques encourus. Il s'agit là d'une altérité dûment constatée, d'une altérité de fait, mais qui se double aussi, sur un plan théorique, d'une distance prescrite, axiologique, d'une opposition de droit, qu'on ne se lasse jamais de rappeler. Science et Politique, qui déjà différaient par ce qu'elles sont objectivement supposées être, se démarquent peut-être davantage encore par la vertu de l'idéal ségrégationniste qui leur est subjectivement assigné. Mais l'ajout d'une barrière supplémentaire, en quelque sorte morale ou juridique, n'est bon qu'à faire naître un sentiment d'étrangeté et de défiance. A quoi servirait de dresser palissades et miradors entre une Science et une Politique qu'une frontière naturelle isolerait déjà ? Pourquoi le mystère dédoublé d'un être en quelque sorte prescrit, qui serait aussi bien une manière de devoir-être constaté ? Soit donc le péril d'une confusion qui peut s'établir à tout moment entre Science et Politique, l'espace qui les sépare pouvant aussi bien être aboli par accident, à l'étourdie, qu'anéanti par un permanent désir adultère de liaisons dangereuses. A la prose ordinaire d'une liaison née dans le feu d'une action sans pensée s'ajoute en effet la poésie maudite d'une liaison favorisée par une volonté durable de transgression. Science et Politique seraient comme deux aimants que l'on aimerait repoussés par leur dangereuse attirance mutuelle, mais qui se seraient affranchis de la légalité physicienne.

Book Le gouvernement des ressources naturelles  science et territorialit  s de l   tat qu  b  cois  1867   1939

Download or read book Le gouvernement des ressources naturelles science et territorialit s de l tat qu b cois 1867 1939 written by Stéphane Castonguay and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government of Natural Resources explores government scientific activity in Quebec from Confederation until the Second World War. Scientific and technical personnel are an often quiet presence within the state, but they play an integral role. By tracing the history of geology, forestry, fishery, and agronomy services, Stéphane Castonguay reveals how the exploitation of natural resources became a tool of government. As it shaped territorial and environmental transformations, scientific activity contributed to state formation and expanded administrative capacity. This thoughtful reconceptualization of resource development reaches well beyond provincial borders, changing the way we think of science and state power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SCIENCE AND EMPIRES: FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM TO THE BOOK Patrick PETITJEAN, Catherine JAMI and Anne Marie MOULIN The International Colloquium "Science and Empires - Historical Studies about Scientific De velopment and European Expansion" is the product of an International Colloquium, "Sciences and Empires - A Comparative History of Scien tific Exchanges: European Expansion and Scientific Development in Asian, African, American and Oceanian Countries". Organized by the REHSEIS group (Research on Epistemology and History of Exact Sciences and Scientific Institutions) of CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), the colloquium was held from 3 to 6 April 1990 in the UNESCO building in Paris. This colloquium was an idea of Professor Roshdi Rashed who initiated this field of studies in France some years ago, and proposed "Sciences and Empires" as one of the main research programmes for the The project to organize such a colloquium was a bit REHSEIS group. of a gamble. Its subject, reflected in the title "Sciences and Empires", is not a currently-accepted sub-discipline of the history of science; rather, it refers to a set of questions which found autonomy only recently. The terminology was strongly debated by the participants and, as is frequently suggested in this book, awaits fuller clarification.

Book Global Science and National Sovereignty

Download or read book Global Science and National Sovereignty written by Grégoire Mallard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Science and National Sovereignty: Studies in Historical Sociology of Science provides detailed case studies on how sovereignty has been constructed, reaffirmed, and transformed in the twentieth century by the construction of scientific disciplines, knowledge practices, and research objects. Interrogating the relationship of the sovereign power of the nation state to the scientist's expert knowledge as a legitimating – and sometimes challenging – force in contemporary society, this book provides a staggering range of case studies in its exploration of how different types of science have transformed our understanding of national sovereignty in the last century. From biochemical sciences in Russia, to nuclear science in the US and Europe, from economics in South Asia, to climatology in South America, each chapter demonstrates the role that scientists play in the creation of nation-states and international organizations. With an array of experts and scholars, the essays in Global Science and National Sovereignty: Studies in Historical Sociology of Science offer a complete redefinition of the modern concept of sovereignty and an illuminating reassessment of the role of science in political life.

Book Science and Ideology

    Book Details:
  • Author : Mark Walker
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2013-10-11
  • ISBN : 1136466622
  • Pages : 284 pages

Download or read book Science and Ideology written by Mark Walker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does science work best in a democracy? Were 'Soviet' or 'Nazi' science fundamentally different from science in the USA? These questions have been passionately debated in the recent past. Particular developments in science took place under particular political regimes, but they may or may not have been directly determined by them. Science and Ideology brings together a number of comparative case studies to examine the relationship between science and the dominant ideology of a state. Cybernetics in the USA is compared to France and the Soviet Union. Postwar Allied science policy in occupied Germany is juxtaposed to that in Japan. The essays are narrowly focussed, yet cover a wide range of countries and ideologies. The collection provides a unique comparative history of scientific policies and practices in the 20th century.

Book AIDS Between Science and Politics

Download or read book AIDS Between Science and Politics written by Peter Piot and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Piot, founding executive director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), recounts his experience as a clinician, scientist, and activist fighting the disease from its earliest manifestation to today. The AIDS pandemic was not only catastrophic to the health of millions worldwide but also fractured international relations, global access to new technologies, and public health policies in nations across the globe. As he struggled to get ahead of the disease, Piot found science does little good when it operates independently of politics and economics, and politics is worthless if it rejects scientific evidence and respect for human rights. Piot describes how the epidemic altered global attitudes toward sexuality, the character of the doctor-patient relationship, the influence of civil society in international relations, and traditional partisan divides. AIDS thrust health into national and international politics where, he argues, it rightly belongs. The global reaction to AIDS over the past decade is the positive result of this partnership, showing what can be achieved when science, politics, and policy converge on the ground. Yet it remains a fragile achievement, and Piot warns against complacency and the consequences of reduced investments. He refuses to accept a world in which high levels of HIV infection are the norm. Instead, he explains how to continue to reduce the incidence of the disease to minute levels through both prevention and treatment, until a vaccine is discovered.

Book Science and Diplomacy

Download or read book Science and Diplomacy written by Pierre-Bruno Ruffini and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-07 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines in depth science diplomacy, a particular field of international relations, in which the interests of science and those of foreign policy intersect. Building on a wealth of examples drawn from history and contemporary international relations, it analyzes and discusses the links between the world of scientists and that of diplomats. Written by a professor of economics and former Embassy counselor for science and technology, the book sets out to answer the following questions: Can science issues affect diplomatic relations between countries? Is international scientific cooperation a factor for peace? Are researchers good ambassadors for their countries? Is scientific influence a particular form of cultural influence on the world stage? Do diplomats really listen to what experts say when negotiating on the future of the planet? Is the independence of the scientist threatened by science diplomacy? What is a scientific attaché for?

Book Science and Ethics

    Book Details:
  • Author : Evandro Agazzi
  • Publisher : Peter Lang
  • Release : 2008
  • ISBN : 9789052014265
  • Pages : 302 pages

Download or read book Science and Ethics written by Evandro Agazzi and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophy of science used to be identified with the logical and methodological analysis of scientific theories, and any allusion to values was considered as a deplorable intromission in a philosophical investigation that should remain strictly epistemological. As a reaction against this view, an opposite «sociological» approach downplayed the usual virtues of scientific knowledge (such as logical rigor and empirical adequacy) as artificial imageries that cover the actual nature of science, that is a social product submitted to all the kinds of social conditionings and compromises. A more balanced view is badly needed today, when technoscience is permeating all aspects of our civilization and wise persons understand that we cannot survive without using science and technology but at the same time we need to steer their development in view of the real benefit of humankind. We must investigate how science, technology and values are legitimately interconnected and, in particular, how the discourses of ethics, politics and religion can enter a fruitful dialogue with science. The essays presented in this volume offer a valuable contribution to this interdisciplinary study.
