Explores the interplay between science, society, and power. One of the most penetrating and celebrated thinkers writing about the philosophy of science today, Isabelle Stengers here provides a firsthand account of the meeting of science and history. Concerned with the force and inventiveness of scientific theories, Power and Invention offers a unique perspective on the power of those theories to modify society, and vice versa. The book makes an eloquent argument for an open science, one that focuses on singularities, is specific to context, wary of hasty generalizations, and open to a profusion of events; one that conceives of nature less as an object than as an actor and interlocutor. Using the law of thermodynamics, Stengers sets out to explain the consequences of nonlinear dynamics (or chaos theory) for philosophy and science. She makes a case for the concept of complexity that transcends the conventional boundaries of scientific discourse and that clearly exposes the risks of scientific thinking. Open science then leads Stengers to the ethical and political concerns that attend scientific practices because of their internal histories and their gendered nature. Among the questions she confronts are: Is psychoanalysis a science? Is there such a thing as women's science? What are scientific theories? Finally, Stengers considers the sciences in their technological and social applications, bringing scientific, societal, and power issues, philosophical and epistemological considerations, and social and political analyses. Always grounded in the concrete problems of doing science, her work gives us a rare look into the interchange of science and society. Isabelle Stengers is associate professor of philosophy at the Free University of Brussels and a Distinguished Member of the National Committee of Logic and the History and Philosophy of Sciences in Belgium. Paul Bains is a research scholar at Murdoch University, Western Australia. Publisher's note.

"Il est prouvé que...". "Du point de vue scientifique...". "Objectivement, les faits montrent que...". Que de fois de telles expressions ne scandent-elles pas le discours de ceux qui nous gouvernent. Et chaque fois, il s'agit d'appeler à se soumettre, à accepter la différence entre ce qu'ils veulent ou désirent, et ce qui est possible. Et d'où vient le verdict quant à ce qui est possible ? Depuis que nos sociétés se veulent démocratiques, depuis qu'elles ne reconnaissent plus d'autorité supérieure à la volonté des populations, le seul argument d'autorité quant à ce qui est possible et ce qui ne l'est pas provient toujours de la Science. Mais entendons-nous bien, la Science n'est pas censée s'opposer à la Démocratie. Elle se borne à dire ce qui est. C'est au Peuple qu'il revient de décider ce qui "doit être", en fonction de "ce qui est". Il faut que le Peuple écoute les experts, accepte d'être réaliste, c'est-à-dire adulte et rationnel, puis décide en conscience. Et c'est la tâche des hommes politiques d'expliquer, de faire comprendre, de faire accepter ce qui ne peut être modifié, avant de proposer les options quant à ce qui reste à décider.
