Totalitarianism and Science
HSTC2205.03W
The central place of modern science and technology in Western economies has made it glaringly obvious to the contemporary world that the question of who has authority over the funding, direction and priorities of modern science is a central political concern.
DESCRIPTION
The mutual relation of political power to power of the natural world has been a feature of the history of science since at least the 16th century, as it has also been a feature of the rise of the modern state and of its current redefinition under the demands of the global economy. This class considers the history of changes and continuities in that mutual relation from the Renaissance to the present.
