Description
Science Studies: An Advanced Introduction by David J. Hess provides a comprehensive survey of the field, bringing together key concepts and an integrated framework to understand the political, historical, and cultural dimensions of technology and the sciences. This book offers a clear discussion of the issues and misunderstandings that have arisen in interdisciplinary conversations between sociology, history, philosophy, anthropology, and other disciplines. By moving beyond traditional discipline-bound approaches, science studies aims to provide crucial conceptual tools for public discussions about the role of science and technology in society. Hess's survey is up-to-date, incorporating recent developments in fields such as philosophy, sociology, anthropology, history, cultural studies, and feminist studies.
