Public debates about climate change or COVID-19 have brought the relevance of the sciences to politics back to the fore: many scientists claim the relevance of their expertise for political decision making and democratic governance, while politicians increasingly rely on scientific knowledge (or reject it). This once again raises the question of the relationship of the sciences to the political sphere: Are these two realms connected, and in what way? Or do the sciences ideally represent an autonomous realm detached from the political sphere? This seminar will present different positions on the problem of the modern sciences’ relationship to the political sphere, articulated by actors from both the sciences and the humanities in the last century. Positions range from claims of autonomy to explicit politizication (e.g., J. D. Bernal, L. Fleck, R. Merton, M. Polanyi). We will also analyze and discuss changing conceptions of the modern scientific persona in between disinterested professional, citizen, activist or entrepreneur (e.g., M. Weber, S. Shapin).
