ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book examines the cultural authority of science in the two analogue models: the Lighthouse or the Bungee Jump model. It shows that in modern Korea, or in Asia more widely, the authority of science is consequentialist rather than epistemic, linked to perceived competences to solve social problems. The book demonstrates new tools for monitoring techno-science news with computerised text classification. It also shows how traditional culture in West Africa and Taiwan accommodate an authority of science. The book also examines the comparative evidence of six-waves of World Values Surveys since the 1980s across India, South Africa, Chile, Japan, Spain, Sweden and USA. It presents accumulating evidence for Argentina since 2003. It recovers the age-old idea of the three-dimensional space of cognition, affect and conation.
