“L'histoire des idées n'est pas nécessairement superposable à l'histoire des sciences. Mais comme les savants mènent leur vie d'hommes dans un milieu et un entourage non exclusivement scientifiques, l'histoire des sciences ne peut négliger l'histoire des idées. Appliquant à une thèse sa propre conclusion, on pourrait dire que les déformations qu'elle subit dans le milieu de culture en peuvent révéler la signification essentielle.”
― The Normal and the Pathological
― The Normal and the Pathological
“Quand un industriel de l'automobile commercialise un 4 x 4 offrant cinq places et pesant plus de 2 tonnes, qui produit trois fois plus de dioxyde de carbone qu'un véhicule "raisonnable" assurant le même service, nous sommes confrontés à une urgence de sécurité sanitaire. [...] Lutter contre de tels excès et contre les manipulations qui leur sont liés n'est pas un excès "hygiéniste, c'est un devoir social. Sur ce dossier, les industriels ont eu un comportement manipulateur et irresponsable qui est bien documenté. Ils ont pendant les quarante dernières années réalisé des progrès très importants dans la sécurité primaire et secondaire de leurs véhicules tout en supprimant une partie de ces progrès par des accroissements en grande partie inutiles de la masse et totalement inutiles de la vitesse maximale.”
