Beskrivning

This gathering of eminent thinkers from the sciences and the humanities engages a common theme: In what ways does language—and storytelling in particular—deal with ethics in science, in literature, and in other art forms? Evelyn Fox Keller, Jean-Michel Rabaté, Mieke Bal, and Roald Hoffmann explore ways in which science and rhetoric, politics and fiction, science and storytelling, and ethics and aesthetics are deeply and creatively imbricated with each other, rather than distinct and autonomous.
