Description

Slow Science: A New Approach to Research Isabelle Stengers argues that fast science is clogging up the system and stifling progress. In this timely book, she makes the case for slowing down research to better understand its role in society. Stengers contends that scientific research should engage openly with an intelligent public, rather than trying to control or manipulate their perceptions of it. By doing so, researchers can produce knowledge that is clear about its limitations and capabilities. This approach requires a shift away from the idea that science has all the answers and towards a more nuanced understanding of its place in society. A thought-provoking and accessible book, Slow Science will be of interest to anyone concerned with the role of science and its future.
