We welcome historians, sociologists, philosophers, culturologists, anthropologists, political scientists, and museum specialists whose interests include the history of science, methodology, and technology in Russia from the second half of the 19th century to the present. This year we invite you to discuss why and how laws of nature “turn” into norms, regulations and rules of society. Who is the facilitator between the rules of society and the laws of nature? How do society’s laws / norms influence nature? What aspects of social life affect the observation and study of natural laws as well as their conversion to fundamental discoveries, technology, and engineering inventions? In which cases do laws of nature / social norms stimulate a constructive, creative human activity and in which do they hinder it? How do we describe the role of creativity in engineering, academic, and entrepreneurial activity in different historical periods and in the present? What role do museums play in the comprehension and “conversion” of the laws of nature? The representation of the rules of society and laws of nature in projects and exhibitions in museums of natural science and technology museums: concrete examples and general patterns.
We offer to discuss these and other topics that will be presented as part of the conference’s sections that were suggested by our long-term and new partners: research groups and centres from leading research institutes and universities.
