Abstract

En 中文
A significant collection of papers provides a ‘critique of RRI' for its not being critical enough. This comment is not critical of RRI, simply because it is not even in the business of critique: RRI co-evolved with and belongs to the regime of technoscience which is also not in the business of critique. Critique comes from the point of view of Enlightenment and modern science – and by insisting on being critical one brings the two traditions into dialogue: The scientific Enlightenment tradition then talks in the language of critique about technoscientific political rationality. The coexistence of the two traditions means that critique is by no means ‘over’ but that there is more than one game in town – one wedded to the constitution of liberal societies, the other to global challenges and the attunement of technology and society.
