• Languages of publication: PL EN

Abstracts

EN

The authoress discusses Nicholas Maxwell’s Project, especially the scanty character of its philosophical grounds, its party normative, culture-loading comprehension of wisdom, and its radical post-Enlightenment scientism. Some doubts in respect to the project are presented. Above all, the authoress claims governments may lead to a totalitarian scientific system, of Orwell’s type.
