Why Science Studies Has Never Been Critical of Science

Philosophy of the Social Sciences, 2000

Research in Science and Technology Studies (STS) tends to presume that intellectual and political... more Research in Science and Technology Studies (STS) tends to presume that intellectual and political radicalism go hand in hand. One would therefore expect that the most intellectually radical movement in the field relates critically to its social conditions. However, this is not the case, as demonstrated by the trajectory of the Parisian School of STS spearheaded by Michel Callon and Bruno Latour. Their position, “actor-network theory,” turns out to be little more than a strategic adaptation to the democratization of expertise and the decline of the strong nation-state in France over the past 25 years. This article provides a prehistory of this client-driven, contract-based research culture in U.S. sociology of the 1960s, followed by specific features of French philosophical and political culture that have bred the distinctive tenets of actor-network theory. Insofar as actor-network theory has become the main paradigm for contemporary STS research, it reflects a field that dodges norm...

Steve Fuller: Knowledge, the philosophical quest in history

Metascience, 2015

Steve Fuller’s Knowledge is on the interplay of scientific knowledge and the human condition. Oth... more Steve Fuller’s Knowledge is on the interplay of scientific knowledge and the human condition. Other than Fuller’s work, there is little discussion in the current literature in sociology of scientific knowledge, science and technology studies, sociology of science, philosophy of science, epistemology of science and analytic social epistemology on this interplay. The book provides provocative and controversial views on social epistemology of scientific knowledge in the history of epistemology which is construed widely as forms of knowledge in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. The breadth of Fuller’s book is very wide. The book has six chapters with each chapter on a different version of epistemology and its history. Chapter 1 is on cognitive economics, and Chapter 2 is on divine psychology. Chapters 3–5 are extended discussions of the application of divine psychology to psychology of science, philosophy of science and sociology of science, respectively. Chapter 6 is on counterfactual historiography. This review

After all, it is one thing to admit that religious dogmatism has periodically halted the march of scientific progress, but it's quite another to argue that atheism has actually advanced science. If atheism is to go beyond the mere denial of certain religious authorities, then it must be something more than a position that retains all the key metaphysical assumptions of monotheismincluding the eschatology, soteriology, and theodicyand sometimes even its institutions, as in Comte's post-Catholic positivist religion. Atheism as a freestanding worldview has always had difficulty in justifying the pursuit of science, understood as a long-term intergenerational project that aspires to a comprehensive understanding of all of reality, in relation to which 'progress' can be measured. Even if most scientists nowadays call themselves 'Atheists,' or even 'New Atheists,' Atheism as a positive doctrine has done precious little for science. Keywords: atheism; monotheism; positive doctrine; science
