Expectations of what scientific research could (not) do: problems of translation, tool, lag of time and context

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › Research › peer-review

Abstract

Starting from a general analysis of what scientific research and practices can (not) and coud (not) do, domain-internal and domain-external limits of the scientific enterprise will be tackled. Four angles will be analysed: (1) the difficulty of translation from reality to science and from science to society; (2) the force of the tool or the mediation of interpretation by models and theories; (3) the time lag, as scientific, societal and human time-scales do not always match; (4) the presence of the context, be it the scientific, the cultural or the ideological context.
