Features: "R. Sheep, a reporter from Radio France Culture," interviewed some scholars in the French academia on the issue of the impact of technology on society, which is currently a topic of concern in French society. The interview transcripts formed a series of small books and had a significant influence on French society. This book is one of them. The term "informal science" refers to the knowledge about nature and society developed by cultures outside the West, such as medical knowledge, natural history knowledge, hunting and gathering knowledge, mathematical knowledge, musical knowledge, and so on. For a long time, under the influence of what is termed "Western mainstream culture," they have been overlooked. Reading this book will reveal to you that there is also a vast treasure trove here.
