I argue that one key characteristic of science communication in Thailand is the significant role of the Science-Buddhism dialogue in public accounts of science, and I examine the vital role of media in this dialogue for the Thai middle-class. By tracing the history of science communication in urban Thailand, I suggest that the Science-Buddhism dialogue has long been engaged in the Thai cultural landscape, with political meanings since the 19th century. However, I argue that in contemporary Thai society, the key purpose in the dialogue has transformed from political aims to offering comfortable messages about the superiority of Buddhist cosmology. I argue that the dialogue has recently shifted a little: while demonstrating the compatibility between scientific knowledge and Buddhist teachings, and concluding that Buddhism is superior to science, a new highlighted theme is a focus on the individual beliefs of one Western scientist: Albert Einstein. In this thesis, I explore this new highlighted theme in popular depictions of Einstein, developing an understanding of his role in the Thai middle-class view towards science. Clearly Einstein is a scientific world celebrity whose biographies contains many myths created mainly by the American press. However, I show that in the Thai popular account, his fame arose instead from his alleged connections with Buddhism portrayed by the Thai press. I show that Einstein’s supposed commitments to Buddhist teaching are tenuous, and difficult to authenticate. The middle-class and the media’s significant interest towards a Buddhistized Einstein in the Science-Buddhism dialogue is grounded in the Thai public’s interest primarily in non-economic cosmologically-oriented science. This has become a significant challenge for the government trying to engage the middle-class with economic forms of science that can help to develop industrial growth. A key challenge facing the government trying to motivate this indigenous form of Thai economic science by harnessing it to nationalist goals and associations with specific 5 monarchs, is the middle-class’s significant interest in a non-economic view of science based on a Buddhistized Einstein. These challenges have generated an inevitable tension between the government and the middle-class, leading to the government’s perception of the middle-class as being cold to science. I suggest that one possible solution to ease the tension would be for the government to take a less-secular approach toward science by engaging with the Science- Buddhism dialogue to raise it to a more intellectual level. By that means we may hope that the government could succeed in creating a productive indigenous form of Thai science with the middle-class’s support. 6 Table of Contents Acknowledgements

  • Chasing the Light Einsteinʼs Most Famous Thought Experiment 1
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by PhilSci Archive November 14, 17, 2010; May 7, 2011 Chasing the Light Einsteinʼs Most Famous Thought Experiment John D. Norton Department of History and Philosophy of Science Center for Philosophy of Science University of Pittsburgh http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton Prepared for Thought Experiments in Philosophy, Science and the Arts, eds., James Robert Brown, Mélanie Frappier and Letitia Meynell, Routledge. At the age of sixteen, Einstein imagined chasing after a beam of light. He later recalled that the thought experiment had played a memorable role in his development of special relativity. Famous as it is, it has proven difficult to understand just how the thought experiment delivers its results. It fails to generate problems for an ether-based electrodynamics. I propose that Einstein’s canonical statement of the thought experiment from his 1946 “Autobiographical Notes,” makes most sense not as an argument against ether-based electrodynamics, but as an argument against “emission” theories of light. 1. Introduction How could we be anything but charmed by the delightful story Einstein tells in his “Autobiographical Notes” of a striking thought he had at the age of sixteen? While recounting the efforts that led to the special theory of relativity, he recalled (Einstein, 1949, pp. 52-53/ pp. 49-50): 1 ...a paradox upon which I had already hit at the age of sixteen: If I pursue a beam of light with the velocity c (velocity of light in a vacuum), I should observe such a beam of light as an electromagnetic field at rest though spatially oscillating.

    Sprawozdanie z działalności Instytutu Książki w 2014 roku A. Promowanie i wspieranie działań z zakresu czytelnictwa, twórczości literackiej i czasopiśmiennictwa I. Działania realizowane w ramach Narodowego Programu Rozwoju Czytelnictwa 1. Dyskusyjne Kluby Książki a) Program dotacyjny W 2014 roku, w związku z koniecznością dostosowania regulaminu DKK do regulaminów programów ministra (w kontekście włączenia DKK do Narodowego Programu Rozwoju Czytelnictwa) i długim czasem oczekiwania na akceptację regulaminu, program Dyskusyjne Kluby Książki ruszył z opóźnieniem. Umowy zostały podpisane dopiero 14 maja br., zaś pierwsza transza została wypłacona bibliotekom wojewódzkim z początkiem czerwca br. Do końca roku liczba klubów wzrosła do 1295, tj. o 108 w stosunku do końca 2013 roku. Przyrost o ok. 100 klubów rocznie utrzymuje się zresztą na stałym poziomie od kilku lat. Działa 419 klubów dla dzieci i młodzieży, 876 dla dorosłych. Istnieją kluby dla osób niepełnosprawnych intelektualnie, 7 klubów w zakładach karnych. W 2014 roku kluby spotkały się 11 296 razy, skupiają obecnie 13 153 stałych członków. Do końca roku odbyło się 943 spotkań autorskich z takimi autorami jak m.in.: Sylwia Chutnik, Roma Ligocka, Grzegorz Kasdepke, Paweł Beręsewicz, Olga Rudnicka, Barbara Kosmowska, Agata Tuszyńska, Mariusz Szczygieł, Filip Springer, Anna Czerwińska– Rydel, Katarzyna Enerlich, Małgorzata Kalicińska, Angelika Kuźniak, Wojciech Kuczok, Ziemowit Szczerek, Dorota Gellner, Agata Tyszka, Magdalena Grzebałkowska, Anna Onichimowska, Ewa Lipska, Wojciech Widłak, Joanna Olech, Jacek Dehnel, Marcin Wroński, Krzysztof Varga, Adam Zagajewski, Jacek Żakowski, Zygmunt Miłoszewski, Beata Ostrowicka, Michał Rusinek, Izabela Sowa, Małgorzata Gutowska– Adamczyk, Janusz Leon Wiśniewski, Jacek Hugo– Bader, Grażyna Jagielska, Hanna Cygler, Andrzej Stasiuk, Magdalena Tulli, Małgorzata Szejnert.

In Siam and Thailand, Saranrom Garden is one of the most obvious examples to demonstrate the aforementioned change in land uses. It was transformed from the monarchy’s recreational ground to a seat of state agency and eventually to a public space. The investigation on the history of Saranrom Garden reveals how the concept and practice of public parks came into existence in a non-Western culture without a direct colonization from the West. In addition, the analytical and critical readings on the development and utilization of the park argues that Saranrom Garden: 1) was employed by the ruling elites as an instrument to represent a modern society; and 2) functioned in terms of a hegemonic discourse, whose accessibility to the public resulted from an imitation of Western practice to display the “civilized” identity of the elites
