6 - Scientific Ethos, Authoritarian Regimes and Social Change in Sub-Saharan Africa
Africa Development,
Vol. 20 No. 2 (1995): Africa Development
Abstract
L'auteur part de l'hypothèse que les régimes autoritaires sortì incompatibles avec certains principes fondamentaux de l'éthique scientifique et que par conséquent les conditions d'existence de ces régimes s'opposent à tout changement social progressiste parce que la rationalité scientifique constitue un desideratum important et une condition sine qua non de tout changement social significatif. L 'auteur élabore un modèle théorique pouvant contribuer à mieux faire comprendre les rapports imbriqués et dynamiques entre les régimes autoritaires et la science par rapport au changement social, cela dans le cadre de la recherche de formes alternatives socio-économiques et politiques en Afrique au Sud du Sahara.
