Objectivity, Science and Society (eBook, ePUB)

Interpreting nature and society in the age of the crisis of science

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This work remains of compelling interest to those concerned with the natural sciences and their social problems. It puts forward original and unorthodox ideas about the philosophy of and sociology of science, starting from the conviction that modern societies face deep problems arising from unresolved dilemmas about the meaning, content and technical applications of the theories of nature they employ.
