Abstract

Science is changing and we are all a part of that change. The changes have much to do with our connectivity. A large part of that first wave of modern science emphasized separation - the separation of the subject from the object of knowledge, the separation of theology from natural science, and so on. A second scientific revolution took place in North America in the second half of the 19th century. Science became organized as a profession. The so-called "science wars" between some realists and constructivists reflect this third wave of science. Thus, this issue of the journal "Constructivism in the Human Sciences" covers specific topics that range from science studies and self-compassion to cinematic meaning, dreamwork, the experience of change, and bioethics.
