✦ Synopsis
Listening in on the easy private banter of scientists, one hears deprecation of the politicians who run this world and wishful claims for the rationality of science. If only the scientific approach were applied to the way countries are governed, it is supposed, the world's problems would vanish. . . . Confused, even hurt, by the complexity of the world they live in, scientists reach naively for the dream that the wild universe of emotions and collective actions is governed by some rational principles, still to be discovered (Hoffman, 1990).
