«Scienza & Politica» si rivolge al panorama consolidato delle discipline scientifiche che si occupano del politico, più o meno ordinariamente divise in filosofia, storia, diritto, sociologia; con in più una storia specificamente dedicata al pensiero. La nostra scelta è quella di non lavorare semplicemente con un approccio interdisciplinare, ma sulle linee di connessione e di sovrapposizione tra le diverse discipline scientifiche. La rivista si propone di sperimentare la ricerca sulla complessa e molteplice appartenenza disciplinare dei fenomeni politici, piuttosto che sulla loro specifica determinazione disciplinare. Essa pretende di rimettere in gioco le discipline stesse pur sapendo che sono una modalità rilevante di acquisizione e trasmissione del sapere. Per questa ragione la rivista non vuole occuparsi direttamente ed esclusivamente di scienza, ma di quelle proiezioni della scienza che si traducono in formule trasmissibili socialmente: in dottrine. Ci interessa registrare e decodificare l’invitabile impatto “politico” che tutte le dottrine, entro qualsiasi campo d’interesse e d’azione, hanno a causa della loro costitutiva funzione “sociale” (attraverso la trasmissione scolare, culturale e ideologica). La rivista indaga le dottrine in quanto fenomeni materiali dei quali si può misurare la portata, l’andamento, lo spessore, la storicità. Esse rivelano l’esistenza di una politicità che non si esprime necessariamente in termini politici.
