This article discusses the ways the hegemonic ideology is further consolidated through the popu-larization of science. The issues surrounding science popularization are intimately linked with the utopias such popularizations construct, the ideology they propagate, and in the case of molecular biology, with the issue of reductionism which appears to be so prevalent in the popular accounts of molecular biology. In such a context, reductionism is no longer a philosophical issue, but a political issue. The article, also, attempts to bring forth the differences between the rather prevalent notion of European Science and that of Science in Europe.
