Description

Here, in this short text, I will try to explore the possibility to define a position that is moving away from science, placing itself outside of it, but at the same time still reflecting it, still remembering science. If it is possible to define such a position, then it would have the properties of meta-science (the way it has been defined in the recent writings by Walter Benjamin). Not exactly like meta-physics in the Aristotelian sense, which is a position next to (after) or beyond (books on) physics. In the case of meta-science, it is not only on the outside of science, it also remembers/reflects science while its constitutive notions could not be the same as those of science.        While the primary subject matter of science is nature, the primary subject matter of meta-science would be science itself.
