Description

Apocalyptic Narratives: Science, Risk and Prophecy offers a deep look into how apocalyptic stories shape our understanding of modern crises. Part of the Routledge Studies in Science, Technology and Society series, this book connects the sociological study of the apocalyptic with the philosophy of science. It examines how these narratives provide meaning to contemporary secular and scientific challenges, specifically focusing on nuclear war, environmental crises, and climate change. By looking at both English- and German-speaking cultural contexts, the text explores the connection between our cultural backgrounds and apocalyptic traditions. The research uses social identity and representation theories, sociologies of risk, and Lakatos' philosophy of science to trace how these narratives function in society. This work is an essential resource for those studying how science and technology intersect with cultural fears and societal responses to global risks.
