Sociology, Science, and the End of Philosophy
This book offers a unique analysis of how ideas about science and technology in the public and scientific imaginations (in particular about maths, logic, the gene, the brain, god, and robots) perpetuate the false reality that values and politics are separate from scientific knowledge and its applications. These ideas are reinforced by cultural myths about free will and individualism. Restivo makes a compelling case for a synchronistic approach in the study of these notoriously 'hard' cases, arguing that their significance reaches far beyond the realms of science and technology, and that their sociological and political ramifications are of paramount importance in our global society. This innovative work deals with perennial problems in the social sciences, philosophy, and the history of science and religion, and will be of special interest to professionals in these fields, as well as scholars of science and technology studies.
Red, Black, and Objective
Drawing on the empirical findings generated by researchers in science studies, and adopting Kropotkin's concept of anarchism as one of the social sciences, Red, Black, and Objective expounds and develops an anarchist account of science as a social construction and social institution. Restivo's account is at once normative, analytical, organizational, and policy oriented, in particular with respect to education. With attention to the social practices and discourse of science, this book engages with the works of Feyerabend and Nietzsche, as well as philosophers and historians of objectivity to ground an anarchistic sociology of science. Marx and Durkheim figure prominently in this account as p...

Harmonia entre Prosa e Poesia
“Harmonia entre prosa e poesia” Nasceu da amizade poética e prosaica de dois escritores de faixas etárias diferentes, que se unem em prol do bem da humanidade, com a finalidade de demonstrarem o quanto é possível a união da poesia e prosa, debatendo temas diversos, com o intuito de instigar a reflexão e aquecer o coração dos leitores, e assim marcar a diferença harmónica entre dois estilos diferentes: da escrita e de personalidades. É neste âmbito que citamos um dos pensamentos perfeitos do escritor Mia Couto, que tão bem sintetiza as nossas palavras. “O que nos caracteriza é a nossa capacidade de sermos diversos e de produzirmos diversidade. O grande milagre é que entre...
Society and the Death of God
This book advances the "strong" programme that sociology and anthropology provide a scientific foundation for arguing that God and the gods are human creations. Contending that religion is one – but not the only – way to systematize and institutionalize the moral order of a society, the author argues that religion reflects the fundamental human need for belonging and the social function of compassion. As such, our transcendental and supernatural ideas are really concerned with our everyday lives in communities and, faced with the severity and immediacy of the global problems with which the world is confronted – existential threats – it is increasingly important to abandon delusions and correct our mistake in reference, not by eradicating religion, but by grounding it more explicitly in earthly matters of community, social solidarity, belonging, and compassion. A wide-ranging study of the roots, nature, and purpose of religion and theistic belief, Society and the Death of God will appeal to sociologists, social theorists, and philosophers with interests in the scientific study of religion and the role of religion in the life of humankind.
Volcanos, Roses, and Manteles
could not believe what I was reading! Five days of wondering if he felt the same way I did! Wondering if he felt he same jolt of electricity run through his body each time our hands touched! Wondering if he felt the same elation that I did! Now, I'm thinking that he did! He wanted me to meet him in the garden after dinner! I am petrified! What do I do? Without fully processing my actions I replied, "Yes!" and hit send.
