'Radical Science' has been established in conjunction with the WWW resource
Against All Reason to serve those who are interested in both the radical
nature of science as a route to knowledge and the radical critique of the
social, political and economic roles of
science and technology. Our remit therefore covers unreasonable uses of
science; unreasonable abuses of science, and unreasonable alternatives to
science. Welcome participants include scientists, philosophers, and those
involved in social studies of science and technology. The topics suggested
for debate will include, but not be limited to, nuclear power; biological
conservation, anthropogenic global warming; behavioural genetics;
manipulation of the human genome and other forms of genetic engineering; the
implications of the convergence of information technologies for democracy,
education, and the global economic infrastructure; discovery and
development; racism and sexism in science, and issues posed by phenomena
such as pseudoscience, pseudohistory and
superstition.
Our Against All Reason website:
http://www.human-nature.com/reason/index.html holds a large collection of
resources, and is
regularly updated. The historical archive contains complete editions of the
following works:
Ren Descartes: 'DISCOURSE ON THE METHOD OF RIGHTLY CONDUCTING THE REASON,
AND SEEKING TRUTH IN THE SCIENCES'
William James: 'THE VARIETIES OF RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE: A STUDY IN HUMAN NATURE'
Bertrand Russell: 'PROPOSED ROADS TO FREEDOM'
Andrew Dickson White: 'HISTORY OF THE WARFARE OF SCIENCE WITH THEOLOGY IN
CHRISTENDOM'
Our host site, Human-Nature.Com, also contains several hundred papers,
articles, electronic journals, book reviews, interviews, and more than a
dozen other complete books, together with unique search facilities and a
collection of over four thousand hyperlinks.
Contributions on any relevant topic are welcome.
