Résumé

In this age of globalization, societies and people across the world are asking themselves the same questions about modernity: where are we going ? How did we get to this point ? What is the power of knowledge today in the evolution of societies ? What is the role and meaning of science and technology, and of philosophy and the humanities in general? Modernity today no longer belongs exclusively to the West.
It has become a global issue. Modernity results from a change in the conception, rote and organization of knowledge in society.
Alain-Marc Rieu is professor of Contemporary philosophy and Science Studies at the University of Lyon-Jean Moulin and senior researcher at the Institute of East-Asian Studies at the ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon. He is studying the mutation since the 1970s of the role, conception and organization of knowledge in advanced industrial societies. He now concentrates on a comparative study of Science and Technology policies.
This includes studying present ideological constructions and philosophical debates in East Asia and Europe. He has been visiting professor in major universities in North America and East Asia. He is the author of various articles, studies and books.
