作为实践和文化的科学探索了快速变化的科学研究领域中最新和最有争议的发展之一:向研究科学实践的转移--从事科学的工作--以及相关的向研究科学文化的转移,被理解为实践在其中和在继续运作的资源领域。安德鲁·皮克林邀请了著名的历史学家、哲学家、社会学家和人类学家为这本书准备原创论文。这些论文涉及物理、生物科学和数学,分为两个部分。在第一部分中,撰稿人制定了一套连贯的关于科学实践和文化的观点,并将他们的分析与科学哲学中的中心主题联系起来,如现实主义、相对主义和不可通约性。第二部分的论文试图将科学研究描绘成与科学知识社会学、社会认识论和反身性民族志的争论中的实践。
Science as Practice and Culture explores one of the newest and most controversial developments within the rapidly changing field of science studies: the move toward studying scientific practice--the work of doing science--and the associated move toward studying scientific culture, understood as the field of resources that practice operates in and on. Andrew Pickering has invited leading historians, philosophers, sociologists, and anthropologists of science to prepare original essays for this volume. The essays range over the physical and biological sciences and mathematics, and are divided into two parts. In part I, the contributors map out a coherent set of perspectives on scientific practice and culture, and relate their analyses to central topics in the philosophy of science such as realism, relativism, and incommensurability. The essays in part II seek to delineate the study of science as practice in arguments across its borders with the sociology of scientific knowledge, social epistemology, and reflexive ethnography.
