"Through a series of examples drawn from biology, climate science, geology, environmental science, and other disciplines, the chapters in this book demystify the process of science, and the work that scientists do. The authors highlight the many methods used in science and the common characteristics that unite them all as "science". The examples illustrate that science is a human endeavor, and research is enriched and enlivened by the diversity of scientists themselves. This book is an excellent companion to any college-level introductory science course, emphasizing how we know what we know. It will also serve as an invaluable resource for undergraduate students preparing to do research for the first time or for anyone who might be interested in learning more about the process of science and scientific research. -- Book blurb.

Les "ânes rouges".. Dans son "Propos" du 5 mai 1931, Alain désigne ainsi "ceux qu'on ne peut atteler, qui ne croient rien". Par analogie, nous avons donné ce nom à différentes figures (Lagneau, Alain, Nizan, Politzer, Sartre, Beauvoir et d'autres moins connues) qui ont critiqué de l'intérieur l'enseignement de la philosophie dans le but de modifier son programme, ses modalités d'examens et pour dénoncer les moyens de légitimation et de reproduction de son institution. Cette étude cherche à déterminer les structures de base de l'institution philosophique, à isoler les conditions politiques et économiques de son évolution et à éclairer la relation qui s'instaure entre l'enseignant et l'institution.
