Jump to: navigation, search 1917 was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar (see link for calendar) or a common year starting on Tuesday of the Julian calendar.
The view of archaeology as being a detached, objective science of the past is slowly giving way to a broader perspective, driven in part by the need to make archaeology more relevant to a broader non-professional audience.

 Le problème théologico-scientifique et la responsabilité de la science
Lorsque la National Science Foundation dit des NBIC qu'elles vont "entraîner un changement de civilisation", bien malin serait celui qui s'aventurerait à mettre un signe, plus ou moins, devant cette éventualité, qui se prononcerait sur son degré de vraisemblance ou qui en évaluerait les conséquences en additionnant les différentiels d'"utilités" sur toute la population.
La science n'est, à tout stade de son développement, consensuelle que pour autant qu'elle se limite à n'être qu'une syntaxe, délestée de tout appareil interprétatif, mais cette syntaxe est tout ce dont elle a besoin pour avoir un pouvoir opératoire souvent considérable sur le monde.
Si l'idéologie influe sur la science, ce n'est donc pas dans le monde des idées que le lien causal s'établit, c'est en passant par des connexions sociales et institutionnelles.
