The laws of science 27 From picture to window Marie Larochelle, 1 Université Laval and CIRADE (Centre Interdisciplinaire de Recherche sur l’ Apprentissage et le Développement en Education) To be consistent with the opinion advocated in this text, my commentary should be seen for what it is: a point of view that has been inspired by David Geelan’s narrative and which has obviously been developed in keeping with my own set of sociodiscursive habits and resources. I do not claim in any way to have made an interpretation that is either exhaustive or authoritative; indeed, there may be some room for doubting its relevance altogether.
But it is not presented as Newton, or Einstein, knew it: a parallel reality that can be explored in its own terms, a realm of the imagination where we can leap ahead of all possible experiments and generate impossible possibilities (time dilation, anti-matter, black holes, quarks) that time and again have been found to have exact parallels in the world of experimental reality. For many of us the excitement of science does not come from endless hours in the laboratory collecting data- The laws of science 31 points, nor does it come only from those rare moments when something is seen or measured that was totally unexpected or that confirms for the first time what theory had already imagined.
Those who ply the knowledge trade. In short, the second formulation leads to an entirely different question, one which makes it possible to conceive of science in social terms but as well to highlight the fact that, as with students’ knowledge, scholarly knowledge does not simply emerge out of nowhere. On the contrary, scholarly knowledge is emblematic of those who have developed it, representing as it does their epistemological postures, social positions and alliances, as well as a particular zeitgeist.
