O ovoj e-knjizi

Sociological studies of knowledge and science have typically dealt with the view that science represents pure and ‘objective’ knowledge, untainted by ‘social’ factors which distort or divert it from uncovering the ‘true’ nature of the physical world. Originally published in 1988 this book introduces and develops a critical appraisal of a new approach, known as the ‘social study of science’, which treats the social context of science as essentially similar to other social activities. The approach is relevant to long standing issues about the scientific status of sociology and attendant problems of objectivity and subjectivity.

Lucidly argued, authoritative and instructive about the institution and practice of science, Dr. Woolgar’s book will appeal to scientists of any persuasion – social or natural – and by anybody with an interest in how science and scientific thinking operate.
