Meta-Science
Towards a Science of Meaning and Complex Solution
2023 || Paperback || Andrej Zwitter e.a. || University of Groningen Press
Meta-Science
Towards a Science of Meaning and Complex Solution
Science has lost its ethical imperatives as it moved away from a science of ought to a science of is. Subsequently, it might have answers for how we can address global challenges, such as climate change and poverty, but not why we should. This supposedly neutral stance leaves it to politics and religions (in the sense of non-scientific fields of social engagement) to fill in the values. The problem is that through this concession,...

Untold Stories of War
2020 || Paperback || Ava Molleson e.a. || University of Groningen Press
Most of what gets published about war zones is written by a remarkably small group of people. Soldiers, journalists, politicians, public intellectuals: these are the people we turn to in times of crisis. And yet, in turning to these people we miss something very important: the voices of the displaced, the victimised, and the oppressed. The voices of the voiceless.

It supports and develops a form of emotional intelligence and provides an ideal pathway to explore deeper aspects of one’s experience and their philosophical implications. Friendlin...
