Reconfiguring Truth: Postmodernism, Science Studies, and the Search for a New Model of Knowledge

Autor Steven C. Ward
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 oct 1996
This refreshingly original book links the postmodern critique of notions such as 'reality' and 'truth' with approaches to knowledge found in science and technology studies (STS), a field also discontent with traditional epistemology. Exploring STS approaches to knowledge, such as actor-network theory, Ward forges a path through the impasse of the modernism vs. postmodernism debate. Reconfiguring Knowledge is an important work for social scientists and theorists, philosophers, historians, and scholars of science and technology.

Recenzii

Long overdue . . . the first sober attempt to locate the recent science studies literature in the sociology of knowledge tradition. The book should prove accessible to both teachers and students.
One of the most lucid and knowledgeable expositions of postmodernism and its paradoxes as one can find in the literature.
a serious and important contribution to sociological theory.
. . . a worthwile book, and it provides a good starting point for people interested in current debates in science studies.
