My book "Contested Sciences: Between Idealization and Contempt" is out with @bloomsburyphilo.bsky.social. Many thanks to all who made this possible, and to @verena-erlenbusch.bsky.social, Linda Martín Alcoff and Janet Kourany for their kind praise! www.bloomsbury.com/us/contested...
The cover of the book "The Contested Sciences: Between Idealization and Contempt" by Frieder Vogelmann shows a chaotic mesh of colour patches from red (upper right) to green (lower center).
