Virgin Mary and the Neutrino Reality in Trouble

"Virgin Mary and the Neutrino is an extraordinary exploration of the events that have shaped the relationship between scientific practices and the public-the devastating effects of which we see today, especially in ecological situations. It is also the best introduction to Isabelle Stengers's body of work, which is undoubtedly one of the most important and original in contemporary thought." - Didier Debaise, author of (Nature as Event: The Lure of the Possible) "Virgin Mary and the Neutrino counts among the contemporary classics written by one of the most creative and boldest philosophers of science. Isabelle Stengers's proposals have the inevitable quality of inducing thought. This book will initiate anyone, no matter the stage of their career, who wants to become familiar with Stengers's inspiring brilliance." - Marisol de la Cadena, author of (Earth Beings: Ecologies of Practice across Andean Worlds)
