Virgin Mary and the Neutrino

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the intersection of science and culture, Isabelle Stengers introduces an "ecology of practices" that encourages a nuanced understanding of modern disciplines. By referencing thinkers like John Dewey and Gilles Deleuze, she argues against a simplistic scientific/nonscientific divide, exemplified by the contrast between the neutrino and the Virgin Mary. This innovative approach fosters a recognition of diverse relationships and obligations, promoting a reality shaped by varying perspectives and concerns rather than a singular authoritative narrative.
