Sociologiya nauki
What is scientific knowledge? Are there social and cultural factors that contribute to the development of science? What institutions help or hinder this development? Who are scientists? Why do disputes arise in science? Considering the relationship between science and society, sociologists of science question the prevailing ideas about the structure of scientific knowledge. Contrary to the sometimes bewitching, sometimes sinister image of a scientist making discoveries alone in his laboratory, today's science is convincingly shown by sociologists to be a collective and often international enterprise. The book is addressed to sociologists, culturologists, philosophers and historians of science.
