Festival Internazionale di Poesia di Genova: The Sociality of Science and the Common Good

The Sociality of Science and the Common Good
Thursday October 27, 2022, 5 pm 
Stanza della Poesia, Piazza Matteotti 78r, Genova 
Reading and discussion by Helen Longino 

Philosophers and social theorists have questioned the objectivity of science. How can we trust the sciences to provide reliable knowledge if objectivity is a myth? If objectivity is a myth, how can we trust the sciences to provide knowledge that will enhance general human wellbeing? Can we rethink knowledge and objectivity to address this challenge? Helen Longino will present her work on the question of objectivity in science and social interactions within scientific communities, identifying the conditions for the advent of a new form of social objectivity.
