Compare this to the debate in DER SPIEGEL about the role of lay participation and student dissatisfaction of how the subject is taught in Germany:<br /><br />http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/unispiegel/d-82971119.html<br /><br />Here a reply from a prof representing the traditional view (AKA keep the public out):<br />http://www.spiegel.de/unispiegel/studium/0,1518,807029,00.html<br /><br />But we are in danger of going off-topic.

It invites an analysis of the hegemony of mathematical-science as real knowledge in so many areas. This is only now beginning to be affected by the abundant evidence of fallacy, futility, error and corruption in important applications of that ideology. The struggle over different cosmologies and epistemologies underlying natural science has been continuous through the centuries. There was an illusion that it was terminated by the conquest of Cartesian-Galilean science; but that is now being challenged. 'Post-Normal Science' may take on a really important role in all this, along with the blogosphere. See the Economist on the new criticism based on the blogosphere, of economics, the leading elite folk-science of techno-capitalist society. http://www.economist.com/node/21542174/printJerome Ravetzhttp://www.jerryravetz.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216971263350849959.post-6679694149251798772011-12-25T15:34:09.694+01:002011-12-25T15:34:09.694+01:00Another link to article:
