Culture, Curiosity and Communication in Scientific Discovery: The Eye in Ideas
Autor Nigel Sanitten Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 sep 2018
The book maintains that the foundations of science are built on sand because theories come and go and the search for truth is elusive. Knowledge acquisition appears to be an end in itself, as though knowledge is some sort of commodity or object that can be traded. Nigel Sanitt explains that we have created a mythical objective world, where we pretend that opinions and values are generated by data alone and not by human beings.
Science is part of our culture and part of the understanding of science is bound up with recognizing the social, economic and political ramifications as they apply to science. Culture, Curiosity and Communication in Scientific Discovery is a radical interpretation of how science works and aims to change the way scientists and non-scientists think about science.

Recenzii
"More and more people worry about the possibility that the scientific temper is exhausting its own foundations when the focus is on outcomes. A focus on impact leads us to forget the significance of an attitude that values meaning before signals, questions before answers, problems before solutions, and imagination and creativity before testing and falsifying. Nigel Sanitt, in this essay on creativity in science, breaks an arrow for the scientific imagination and reminds us of the fundamentals of a scientific temper."
– Martin W Bauer, Professor of Social Psychology and Research Methodology, London School of Economics and Political Science
"In an age when there are more and more scientists, few of them can give a compelling account of how they find understanding and reach conclusions. In Culture, Curiosity and Communication in Scientific Discovery, Nigel Sanitt has drawn upon a broad range of investigations as well as historical and contemporary sources to provide some important insights and to stimulate thought."
– Roger Blandford, Professor of Physics and of Particle Physics and Astrophysics, KAVLI Institute, Stanford University
"Questioning is essential to the practice of science. But the question of how scientific theories are constructed and verified remains controversial. Nigel Sanitt’s new book offers an original perspective on scientific questioning. By deploying problematological philosophy, graph theory and theories of meaning and narrative, he makes important arguments about the nature of scientific reasoning and how it is practised. He reveals the problematological unity in scientific practice and raises key questions about the most important theories in physics today."
