metaphysical element, on democracy, in a political context , was considered;
the dangers of reductionism were debated, and time was made to consider the
interactions between science itself and science fiction.htm

"Any member of Congress who votes to regulate the grassroots is voting to

outside the Beltway," concluded Viguerie's additional comments.

What is, therefore, the
place of life sciences in today's European cultures? How can we monitor
scientific and technical progress and make sure that European citizens benefit
from research developments? Good governance is impossible without responsible
citizens., The Washington Times has published

How do the most recent developments in the life sciences affect our
understanding of what it is to be Human?
In March 2004 in Genoa, under the auspices of the European Group on Life
Sciences, this question was debated by leading figures in science, in
philosophy, in the arts, from all over Europe.

This branch of the philosophy of technology is closely related to sociology.

"Only a Congress addicted to power would try to blame its internal
corruption problems on too much citizen participation in politics," Viguerie
wrote.R.washingtontimes .

Science and technology have influenced society and the the possibilities and phenomenal experiences of individuals greatly ever since the Industrial Revolution.

Investigations such as those undertaken by the Frenchman Bruno Latour, try to achieve a better understanding of how technologies are developed (the construction of a black box), which may be useful in for instance technology assessment.

And can one imagine these discussions ignoring also the impact of such
advances on culture, using the word here in its fullest sense? These crucial
questions are the focus of our concerns and will be at the heart of debates in
Genoa.
In response to Congress's own recent scandals involving money and gifts
for legislative favors, several so-called ethics and lobbying reform bills
have been introduced that would also regulate many grassroots lobbying
efforts.

This is what has created the technological culture we live in.

The event
we are organising on 22 and 23 March 2004 in the city of Genoa, the cultural
capital of Europe, will put high-calibre scientists in contact with
personalities from the world of art and literature. But is it possible to imagine citizenship without cultural
awareness? It is inconceivable to discuss the repercussions of research
without taking into account what science is able -- or unable -- to achieve.
