Red, Black, and Objective
Science, Sociology, and Anarchism
«'An unprecedented effort of reflection on the relationship between social studies of science, sociology and anarchism, enriched with extensive use of important, but hitherto neglected, international sources. A courageous proposal of renewal of both theoretical and empirical approaches in STS, profoundly grounded in studies of science and objectivity.' Alessandro Mongili, University of Padua, Italy 'Not realism or relativism, but just being realistic. Not constructivism but constructionism. Not your standard sociology of science, but an innovative anarchist theory of science. Sal Restivo reconsiders carefully our vocabulary for thinking about science and invites us to understand why 1729 is not only linked to the mathematician Ramanujan but also to the birth year of Catherina the Great.' Jean Paul Van Bendegem, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium 'Recommended.' Choice»
Drawing on the empirical findings generated by researchers in science studies, and adopting Kropotkin's concept of anarchism as one of the social sciences, this title expounds and develops an anarchist account of science as a social construction and social institution. Les mer
