"Does knowledge matter to politics?" is the main question the book
tries to answer. The analysis is interdisciplinary and covers a
wide range of topics: a social epistemology assessment of the
efficacy of political institutions in promoting the generation and
the diffusion of science and technology; the proposal of the
alternative concept of satisfying rationality to found the theory
of social knowledge; the roles of social knowledge in the
constitution making and the transitional justice; the arguments in
favor of decentralized knowledge in social problem solving and its
empowerment through devolution, de-bureaucratization and
deregulation; the means to ensure the independency of knowledge
from power and at the same time its social utility; the knowledge
justified to inform the voters in political campaigns; the critique
to technocracy as the wrong solution to deal with the crisis of
complexity in contemporary society.
