This essay examines what kinds of insights about risk we can gain from the Bioshere2 experiment, in which eight people lived on a man-made earth for two years. Taking Bioshere2 as an integrated risk assessment, we carefully follow, reconstruct and situate various outcomes, and mental changes people went through, in this twoyear period of research and real life experience ‘under glass’. Using Beck’s consideration of risk society, we distinguish four insights the biospherians acquired, and suggest that these insights should be reflected in risk management for our real earth, Bioshere1.

The central topic of this paper concerns the possibility of a different kind of scientific knowledge which, on the basis of Mannheim's certain vocabulary, is termed in this paper as "voluntaristic science". I have specifically demonstrated that voluntaristic science is an approach which is applied in the areas where knowledge and real action cannot be separated. Mannheim described this domain as, "the areas where there is a room for activity which is beyond the scope of rational behavior". When we focus on changing and differing perspectives on knowledge in these areas, three elements, social group, situation, and action, are extracted as crucial factors from Mannheim's analysis. Although voluntaristic science is conceptually opposed to intellectualistic science -- an approach which is mainly employed in natural sciences to capture quantitative and formal aspects of phenomenon, I have argued that both kinds of knowledge should be employed complementarily to give a better understanding and firmer grounds for those who make political or humanistic "decisions" in the world without a unique worldview.

This essay represents an attempt to read and interpret one of the classic English-language papers in social science using Study Questions as a guide with the purpose of gaining a deeper understanding of the text. This Part 2 deals with the paragraphs from fifth to tenth of the paper ‘Insurance and Risk’. This article is written by Francois Ewald, and is considered an excellent example of the application of some of the key elements of Foucauldian thought to the study of the sociological notion of risk.

This essay represents an attempt to read and interpret one of the classic English-language papers in social science using Study Questions as a guide with the purpose of gaining a deeper understanding of the text. This first part deals with the first four paragraphs of the paper ‘Insurance and Risk’, written by François Ewald, which is considered an excellent example of the application of some of the key elements of Foucauldian thought to the study of the sociological notion of risk.
