Drawing on debates from traditional and postmodern thoughts on
science and technology, the title builds a new theoretical
framework to reconsider science and technology, integrating the
opposing viewpoints that either justify science or negate it. As
the third volume of a three-volume set that proposes to reconsider
science and technology and explores how the philosophy of science
and technology responds to an ever-changing world, this final
volume seeks to restore the cultural implications of science.
Across the six chapters, the authors probe the prospect of a
pluralistic scientific culture, including discussions of
diversified value choices, the tension between reason and unreason,
other binary characteristics of scientific knowledge, including
objectivity and uniqueness, universality and locality, as well as
the loss, awakening and reconstruction of scientific culture. The
authors call for a transformation of scientific culture from a
dominant culture to an affirmative one and envision a free and open
world of science and technology. The volume will appeal to scholars
and students interested in the philosophy of science and
technology, the ideology of scientism and anti-scientism, modernism
and postmodernism, Marxist philosophy and topics related to
scientific culture.
