Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. http://bactra.org/weblog/algae-2017-03.html#collins ( ) This book does a bit more than its title might suggest: instead of being simply a defence of scientific expertise in a time when the expert is more challenged than ever before, this work actually traces the growth of skepticism amongst the general public. This book contains much knowledge that will already be known to most people, but much new, certainly to me. The work is valuable, not only for the new information, but also for its ordering of the whole melange. Perhaps even the most doubting Thomas would have a little more respect for the scientific perspective were they to read this tome. I shall certainly be more cautious about dismissing the scientific point of view in future! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

To ordinary people, science used to seem infallible. Scientistswere heroes, selflessly pursuing knowledge for the common good.More recently, a series of scientific scandals, frauds and failureshave led us to question science?s pre-eminence. Revelationssuch as Climategate, or debates about the safety of the MMRvaccine, have dented our confidence in science. In this provocative new book Harry Collins seeks to redeemscientific expertise, and reasserts science?s special status.Despite the messy realities of day-to-day scientific endeavor, heemphasizes the superior moral qualities of science, dismissing thedubious ?default? expertise displayed by many of thoseoutside the scientific community. Science, he argues, should serveas an example to ordinary citizens of how to think and act, and notthe other way round. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
