1. Introduction A leading contributor to the sociology of scientific knowledge (SSK), Harry Collins, invites us to consider the following parable. A scientist, a philosopher, a sociologist of scientific knowledge and a science warrior are aloft in a balloon. The balloon begins to deflate. The scient...

One sure-fire way to write an unsuccessful book is to try to make everyone happy. Because I had hoped to write a successful book, I started out by making a number of choices which I thought would make at least a few people unhappy. First, I chose to write a book promoting Martin Heidegger’s existent...

Heidegger delivered his lectures on Galileo, Newton, and mathēsis during the winter semester of 1935–1936. In the autumn of 1935, just before, or just as, this lecture course was getting started, Heidegger also hosted, over the course of several days, a discussion by two distinguished German scienti...

1. Introduction Place a grain of wheat on the ground in front of you. Does this amount to a heap of grain? No, of course not. So, add a second grain. Is it a heap now? No. A third grain? No. A fourth grain? No. A fifth grain? No. And so it goes also after a sixth grain, a seventh grain, an eight gra...

1. Introduction In Chapter Five, we familiarised ourselves with Heidegger’s concept of mathēsis. This concept lies at the heart of his attempt to understand the emergence of early-modern science in terms of mathematisation. In particular, mathēsis — as a kind of learning or studying wherein we learn...

1. Introduction In Chapter Three, I argued that the doctrine of the independent existence of things, as the basis for a minimal realism, is inextricably bound up with the fact that human knowledge is inherently limited. The idea that things possess an independent existence follows from the recogniti...

1. Introduction Commenting on the minimal realism outlined in Chapter Two, some people have said that they find it very ‘Kantian,’ and expressed worry that it may be vulnerable to the dreaded Kantian ‘two-world problem.’ Minimal realism can indeed be justifiably described as ‘Kantian,’ but only in a...

1. Introduction One of the most ridiculed concepts in Heidegger’s work is his ‘question of being.’ An unlikely collection of critics, ranging from the philosopher Simon Blackburn to the science studies scholar Bruno Latour have exercised considerable rhetorical flair in roundly repudiating the signi...

Les émotions sont-elles compatibles et bénéfiques à l’exercice scientifique ? Jeff Kochan montre que la réponse semble être oui. Il repense les émotions dans une nouvelle épistémologie, qui utilise la subjectivité comme source de savoir. Les émotions, un problème pour les sciences ? J’ai trouvé ce t...

Objectif et originalité du rapprochement opéré par Jeff KochanLa science et la technique sont des réalités complexes, étudiées à notre époque par différentes approches et champs disciplinaires qui, malheureusement, ne dialoguent que peu entre eux, bien qu’ils partagent les mêmes objets d’étude.
