Title: Scientific Practice and Ordinary Action. Ethnomethodology and Social Studies of Science
Description: Cambridge University Press, 1993. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 333. Philosophers, historians, and sociologists of science have grown increasingly interested in the day-to-day practices of scientists. Recent studies have drawn numerous linkages between scientific innovations and more ordinary procedures, craft skills, and sources of sponsorship. These studies dispute the idea that science is the application of a unified method or the outgrowth of a progressive history of ideas. This book critically reviews arguments and empirical studies in two areas of sociology that have played a significant role in the "sociological turn" in science studies: ethnomethodology (the study of ordinary practical reasoning) and the sociology of scientific knowledge. In both fields, efforts to study scientific practices have led to intractable difficulties and interminable debates, due in part to scientistic and foundationalist commitments that remain entrenched with social-scientific research policies and descriptive language. ISBN: 9780521431521. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
