Populäre Biologie im 20. Jahrhundert
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:28:36
Abstract
Since the middle of the 20th century, biology as the key science has held great authority with regard to commonsensical knowledge. Ideas about ‘the nature of things’ have influenced other scientific disciplines and political thought beyond the well-known example of social Darwinism. In the seminar, we will analyze the social power and public presence of the life sciences for such concatenations.
