Date and Time: 11 September 2025, at 6:30 PM. The admission is free.

Venue: JINR Universal Public Library (13/7 Blokhintsev St).

Some viewpoints in philosophical discourses on science (social constructivism, relativism, etc.) provoke heated debate in the research community. The lecturer – Polina Petrukhina, a philosopher, scientist, and junior researcher at the Faculty of Philosophy at Lomonosov Moscow State University – suggests trying to figure out:

  • What is problematic about these ideas?
  • How can we think about and talk about science differently without discrediting it?
