Science as a Quest for Truth
The Interpretation Lab
Challenging the myth of science vs. religion, this book argues that modern science is intertwined with the history of the university. It proposes a way to transcend the false alternatives of objectivistic certitude (“the Truth”) and relativistic resignation (“post-truth”).

Data, New Technologies, and Global Imbalances
Beyond the Obvious
The idea that technology is neutral is untenable. Pervasive data shapes our world, creating innovation but also deep imbalances. This book explores these risks and asks: How can policymakers address this? Should data be public? Do we need a global data-governance structure?
