Showing results for "Ideologies" in Science & Engineering

Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology, and Reality tells the story of this technology and the celebrated men who developed it with some success, but also with failures that are never mentioned in the celebratory literature on vaccines. Vaccine advocates often proclaim that they “follow the science,” but most vaccine development has been a matter of guesses, gambles, and wild experimentation. Its key figures have been biased by religious faith, wishful thinking, ideology, and a desire for recognition and money.

In dem Podcast "Ideologie - Podcast über falsches Denken (in modernen Zeiten)" geht es um die Entstehung und die Erscheinungsformen von falschen Weltbildern. Dabei geht es vor allem um einflussreiche und verbreitete Weltbilder, die in der modernen (kapitalistischen) Gesellschaft entstehen, wie z. B. Antisemitismus, Rassismus und Sexismus. Die Kommentarfunktion unter den einzelnen Episoden bleibt wegen möglicher ideologischer Angriffe ausgeschaltet, womit aber leider auch in Kauf genommen werden muss, dass mögliche rationale Kritik ungelesen bleibt.

Pendant près de trois millénaires, les Pharaons ont régné sur l'Égypte antique sans que le caractère divin et absolu de leur pouvoir n'ait été remis en cause. Jean Winand, égyptologue et professeur à l'université de Liège, étudie l'idéologie dont s'est revêtu le pouvoir pharaonique afin d'assurer sa pérennité. À travers les histoires hautes en couleur des légendaires Sésostris, Thoutmôsis, Akhenaton ou Ramsès, il nous montre que Pharaon, fils de Rê, apparaît sur terre tel un envoyé des dieux.

In 2012, the most important monastery in the Russian Orthodox Church published a biology textbook for 10th and 11th graders. It’s called General Biology, but it’s an explicitly creationist text, describing God’s role in the natural world to counteract generations of official atheism in Russian schools. Darwinism, according to this book, has been disastrous for the world and for the Russian people in particular.

Le testimonianze raccolte in questo libro, curato da Franco Basaglia e sua moglie Franca Ongaro e pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1975, costituiscono una sorta di ricerca a più voci sul ruolo dell'intellettuale e del tecnico come custodi di istituzioni violente. Attraverso l'approfondimento della funzione che regge le diverse ideologie scientifiche (la psichiatria, la storiografia, la psicologia, la sociologia, la criminologia, la medicina), questi contributi vogliono risalire alla funzione dell'ideologia quale strumento di conservazione del nostro sistema sociale.

When Moral Politics was first published two decades ago, it redefined how Americans think and talk about politics through the lens of cognitive political psychology. Today, George Lakoff's classic text has become all the more relevant, as liberals and conservatives have come to hold even more vigorously opposed views of the world, with the underlying assumptions of their respective worldviews at the level of basic morality.

Our Political Nature is the first book to reveal the hidden roots of our most deeply held moral values. It shows how political orientations across space and time arise from three clusters of measurable personality traits. These clusters entail opposing attitudes toward tribalism, inequality, and differing perceptions of human nature. Together, these traits are by far the most powerful cause of left-right voting, even leading people to regularly vote against their economic interests.

Written in 1791 as a response to Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France, Thomas Paine's Rights of Man is a seminal work on human freedom and equality. Using the French Revolution and its ideals as an example, he demonstrates his belief that any government must put the inherent rights of its citizens above all else, especially politics.
