"Modernity has had so many meanings and combines so many contradictory sets of attitudes and values that it has become impossible to use it to define the future. It crashes like an overloaded computer. Hence the idea is that modernity might need a sort of reset. Not a clean break, not a "tabula rasa," not another iconoclastic gesture, but rather a restart of the c ..."

"If science is neither cookery, nor angelic virtuosity, then what is it? Modern societies have tended to take science for granted as a way of knowing, ordering, and controlling the world, where everything was subject to science, but science itself has largely escaped scrutiny. In this fascinating collection of interviews, CBC Radio's "Ideas" producer David Cayley talks to some of the world's most provocative thinkers about how the ideas ..."

Paperback, 296 Pages, Published 1986 by Princeton University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-691-02832-3, ISBN: 0-691-02832-X

" This highly original work presents laboratory science in a deliberately skeptical way: as an anthropological approach to the culture of the scientist. Drawing on recent work in literary criticism, the authors study how the social world of the laboratory produces papers and other "texts,"' and how the scientific vision of reality becomes that set of statements considered, for the time being, too expensive to change.

Pourtant, des concepts tels que le trajet, la dramatisation, l'instauration, le philosophème ou, encore, l'existence virtuelle ont résisté, faisant écho à certaines propositions de Gilles Deleuze, ou inspirant Isabelle Stengers et Bruno Latour. Car So ..."
