商品簡介
The era of science is declining, contends Lopez Corredoira (Institute of Astrophysics, Canary Islands, Spain), because society is becoming saturated with knowledge that does not offer people any sense of their lives. He discusses some highlights in the history of natural sciences, the institutionalization of science and its new socioeconomic conditions, knowledge, orthodox and heterodox science, the decline of science, philosophizing about science, and nonsense and the search for a new humanity.
