Cognitive Justice in a Global World: Prudent Knowledges for a
Decent Life is an edited collection that springs from the now
dormant debates known as "The Science Wars," which questioned the
nature of scientific theories. Learning from the debates about the
plurality of truths and opinions, editor Boaventura de Sousa Santos
has realized an opportunity for strengthening the relations between
the natural and social sciences with more epistemological
affinities and for opening up new transnational dialogues between
scientists and other producers of knowledge. This book analyses in
detail some of the topics that amount to a set of problematic
relations between science and ethics; between objectivity and
neutrality; between the sociological and theoretical condition of
production and the limits of scientific rigor; between public faith
in science and the economic powers that determine scientific
priorities; and between science and other kinds of knowledge
existing in society. Maintaining that global social injustice is by
and large epistemological injustice and that there can be no global
social justice without global cognitive justice, Cognitive Justice
in a Global World is an important collection for higher-level
students and researchers in the social sciences, philosophy of
science, and intellectual history.
