Author

  • Mauricio Schoijet

Abstract

The anticientificismo trend that started in Argentina in 1962 was a resistance to modernization. Oscar Varsavsky's best known work of 1969 combined elements of an ultra-leftist critique of science with a critique of the way in which Argentine science was developing. He had a very important ideological influence in the 1970s in much of Latin America in many technical and scientific groups. His work was used by obscurantist elements for repressive policies.
