Aims, contents and method of the course

Politics of Science and Knowledge: Toward Supervision of the State

According to Wilke (1997, p. 9) modern secular societies manifest their operative autonomy in their core definitions of political ideals, that is, one can suggest that the constitutions of the respective nation states contain the ideal form of their politics and society. These core rules and ideals as human dignity, the immutable rights of man, the pursuit of happiness, des droits de l’homme immutables, correspond to the vision of an ideal of an equitable vision of society.
