Worldviews, Science And Us: Redemarcating Knowledge And Its Social And Ethical Implications [PDF ebook] 

This publication features an interdisciplinary group of contributors which questions aspects of today’s worldviews and science that are often taken for granted and tacitly determine the boundaries of what is generally conceived of as the ‘world’ and ‘science’. Some authors stress that existing demarcations are obsolete and often prevent new insights. Others show how they influence the way people perceive themselves and believe the world ontologically to be, determining people’s actions and the social fabric. There are yet others who point out how a redemarcation may stimulate the development of knowledge acquisition and social well-being. Examples of how bridging knowledge between different fields leads to new crucial insights, while identifying the pattern of too strict a demarcation preventing such insights, are also analyzed in this volume.
