Abstract
The question of science has become rather important from several perspectives. The disintegration of the positivist model of science and the scientific community seem objective, progressive and rational. The question of science also arises in the developing struggle between the technocratic elites and populist intellectuals. Such debates may have a role in the development of genuine mass movements which undercut the priviledged position of such elites, as happened in some phases of the Cultural Revolution in China. More generally, the technocratic society has turned into a leaky ship, sailing a dangerous strait bounded by the possibility of nuclear holocaust on one side and massive ecological collapse on the other.
