ARGUING FOR AN EPOCHAL BREAK   Alfred Nordmann Department of Philosophy University of South Carolina   March 4, 2009 Wednesday, 4:00pm-5:30pm Byrnes, room 413   Numerous labels have been proposed to characterize contemporary research practice: post-academic science, mode-2 research, post-normal science, new natural history, entrepeneurial science, or technoscience. But what is the status of the implicit historical claim - are we talking about a new era in which the relation of science and technology, but also that of science and society or science and nature has undergone a profound transformation? To be sure, any claim of an epochal break shoulders an immense burden of proof and appears to be doomed from the outset. On the other hand, if the task of philosophy is to give voice to its age, can it make sense of the epochal break thesis? This presentation at any rate suggests a way of doing so.
