High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The sociology of scientific knowledge is the study of science as a social activity, especially dealing "with the social conditions and effects of science, and with the social structures and processes of scientific activity." The sociology of knowledge, by contrast, focuses on the production of non-scientific ideas and social constructions. Sociologists of scientific knowledge study the development of a scientific field and attempt to identify points of contingency or interpretative flexibility where ambiguities are present. Such variations may be linked to political, corporate or economic factors. Crucially, the field does not set out to promote relativism, or to attack the scientific project in general. The aim of the researcher is simply to explain why one interpretation rather than another succeeds due to external social and historical circumstances.
