This book approaches its subject matter in a way that combines a
strong analytical and critical perspective with a historical and
sociological framework for the understanding of the emergence of
Science Studies. This is a novelty, since extant literature on this
topic tends either to narrate the history of the field, with little
criticism, or to criticize Science Studies from a philosophical
platform but with little interest in its historical and social
context. The book provides a critical review of the most prominent
figures in Science Studies (also known as Science and Technology
Studies) and traces the historical roots of the discipline back to
developments emerging after World War II. It also presents it as an
heir to a long trend in Western thought towards the naturalization
of philosophy, where a priori modes of thought are replaced by
empirical ones. Finally, it points to ways for Science Studies to
proceed in the future.
