The Rational and the Social

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

This work critically examines the approach to science of Bloor, Barnes and other "strong program" sociologists who advocate a "science of science" or "finitism." It takes a similarly critical look at anthropologists in the lab such as Collins, Latour, and Woolgar. Indeed, The Rational and the Social tries to determine the ways in which social forces and rational theory choice interact with one another; it then offers a strategy for dealing with the social, resulting in the improvement of science.
