Description
Scientific knowledge formations are often precarious resources, vulnerable to epistemological doubts and limitations. In certain situations, they can be weak due to flawed reasoning or empirical evidence. Similarly, in other contexts, the cultural and social recognition of knowledge is lacking, leaving it underdeveloped.
This collection brings together contributions from various historical periods and a broad range of disciplines, including medicine and climatology. The book explores how knowledge formations can be fragile and context-dependent, highlighting the need for nuanced understanding of their strengths and weaknesses.
