  • Borrowing the Concept of Energy in Freudian Psychoanalysis

    Yehuda ElkanaCHAPTERComparative Social Dynamics2019

    Vague concepts play a positive and indispensable role in the emergence of new theories. That this is so has been historically well documented and is logically inescapable. The concept of Kraft was a vague concept before the emergence of the law of "conservation of energy," which also fixed the concept of energy and distinguished it from force. There are numerous examples of the use of mental energy in Freud&s;s writings, regardless of whether the…

    Yehuda Elkana, Gyorgy Lissauer et al.BOOKConcepts and the Social Order2011

    Offers a comprehensive perspective on knowledge production in the field of sociology. Moreover, it is a tribute to the scope of Merton's work and the influence Merton has had on the work and life of sociologists around the world. This is reflected in each of the 12 chapters by internationally acclaimed scholars witnessing the range of fields Merton has contributed to as well as the personal impact he has had on sociologists.

  • Rethinking the Enlightenment

    Open AccessYehuda ElkanaARTICLEApproaching Religion2011

    In this introductory statement, given at the beginning of the Aboagora symposium in Turku in August 2011, Yehuda Elkana highlights the need, in accordance with the title of the conference, to rethink rather than unthink the Enlightenment. Indeed, the Enlightenment remained an unfinished project, but one should never forget that this era formed the basis for the greatest and most important creation of knowledge in all areas for 300 years. Over the…

  • Freedom and Interdisciplinarity

    Yehuda ElkanaARTICLESocial research2009

    I would like to argue that to a large extent universities are themselves to blame for their failure to respond adequately to external pressures of the day. Barring the work of a few exceptional departments and individuals here and there, universities are incapable of addressing precisely those problems that most preoccupy our societies nowadays. Granted, universities rightly regard themselves as playing a key role in preserving intellectual, acad…

  • Creativity and Democratization in Science

    Yehuda ElkanaARTICLESubStance1990

    WHEN ONE CRITICIZES things in the scientific establishment nowadays, one is often attacked as anti-science.' I would like to start with the basic assumption that most of us who deal with science share the view that science is something good, we believe in its progress, and we want to see it achieve the best in its results. However, I am uneasy about the health of the whole scientific enterprise. Although there is a readiness to rethink, to introd…

  • Experiment as a Second-Order Concept

    Open AccessYehuda ElkanaARTICLEScience in Context1988Citada por: 2Referencias: 3

    The ArgumentWhen we actually perform an experiment, we do many different things simultaneously - some belonging to the realm of theory, some to the realms of methodology and technique; however, a great deal of what happens is expressible in terms of socially determined images of knowledge or in terms of concepts of reflectivity - second-order concepts - namely thoughts about thoughts.The emergence of experiment as a second-order concept in late a…

    This chapter explores the meaning context of illness and care, emphasizing its central role in medical anthropology.
