The aim of this book is to understand and critically appraise
science-based transgression dynamics in their whole complexity. It
includes contributions from experts with different disciplinary
backgrounds, such as philosophy, history and sociology. Thus, it is
in itself an example of boundary transgression.Scientific
disciplines and their objects have tended to be seen as permanent
and distinct. However, science is better conceived as an activity
that constantly surpasses, erases and rebuilds all kinds of
boundaries, either disciplinary, socio-ethical or ecological. This
transgressive capacity, a characteristic trait of science and its
applications, defines us as "knowledge societies." However,
scientific and technological developments are also sources of
serious environmental and social concerns.
