Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the intersection of science and human affairs, this book critically examines the assumption that scientific methods can effectively address social and political issues. It questions the philosophical validity of applying scientific logic to human studies and investigates its impact on our understanding of society. The text also delves into how various modern ideologies, some linked to significant 20th-century atrocities, have co-opted the language of science. Aimed at lay readers and students, it offers insights into the implications of these assumptions for contemporary society and politics.
