Man has always been fascinated by the future and the unknown. The driving force behind this push is an insatiable curiosity for the countless frontiers to explore and the extraordinary availability of means at our disposal. Nowotny uses this hypothesis to analyze the role of modern science in our society, where researchers and public opinion appear as protagonists of a confrontation that sometimes takes on the tone of a real clash.
Helga Nowotny is professor emeritus of Social Studies of Science, ETH Zurich. She has held numerous leadership roles on Academic boards and public policy councils, and she has authored many publications in the social studies of science and technology.
