Beschreibung
Just as Religion is not the church, so Science is not the academic community. Science is an idea, and everyone, layperson or expert, has an unalienable right to shape his own opinion. What is Science as an idea and how does it work as a structure? Is the Science a tug-of-war between creativeness and stultification? Is there any interdependence between cognitive structure (how the knowledge is constructed) in a particular subject and the academic community structure (intrigues, politics)? What is the relation between science and market? Are all subjects and fields which are officially institutionalized at the university or research centers of equal scientific value or all that glitters is not gold? etc. This book tries to answer such questions and pose several issues, which may concern academics and researchers, politicians dealing with education and research policy, stakeholders of the industry sponsoring research projects, persons who dream to become scientists and not just to obtain a degree and parents who would like to substantially discuss with their children what and whether its worth studying at all.
