«Cosmopolitiques I» is an essay on the philosophy of science by Isabelle Stengers, in a French-language paperback edition.
The book challenges the warlike and triumphalist image of modern sciences and analyses how disciplines such as mechanics and thermodynamics have been presented as objective and neutral knowledge. Stengers offers a reflection on the passions of scientists and how to make them coexist with other forms of knowledge, raising the cosmopolitical question: how can scientific, technical and non-modern practices coexist?
First volume of the Cosmopolitiques series, originally published in seven volumes. French-language edition.
For readers of philosophy of science and social studies of science and technology, interested in critical thought and disputes between science and opinion.
