Description
Science as Practice and Culture by Andrew Pickering explores the study of scientific practice and its relationship with scientific culture. This collection of essays brings together leading scholars from various fields to examine the work of doing science and the resources that shape it. The contributors map out a range of perspectives on scientific practice and culture, relating their analyses to key topics in philosophy of science such as realism, relativism, and incommensurability. The essays also explore the study of science as practice in relation to sociology of scientific knowledge, social epistemology, and reflexive ethnography. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on scientific practice and culture, making it an important resource for scholars and researchers in the field.
