Description

Cosmopolitics II by Isabelle Stengers explores the role and authority of science in modern societies. The book includes translations of the last four volumes of Cosmopolitics, which investigates the relationship between science and knowledge. Stengers argues that science is not an objective discovery of truth, but rather a constructive enterprise that shapes our understanding through specific practices and processes. She critiques traditional notions of tolerance, instead proposing a "cosmopolitics" that allows different forms of knowledge to coexist peacefully. This book offers a thought-provoking examination of the intersection of science and philosophy, challenging readers to reconsider their assumptions about the nature of knowledge and its role in society.
