The book is an attempt to bring together what are often seen as
incommensurable scientific and philosophical positions. Its core
argument is that a main reason for the divisions about what
constitutes scientific knowledge relates to disagreements on
philosophical issues. The book explores what these disagreements
are about, and to discuss whether they can be overcome. Taking a
historical perspective, the book traces the divides in science back
to three main philosophical traditions: realism, idealism, and
scepticism. It maps how these have inspired three main current
positions in science: logical empiricism, phenomenology, and
sociology of scientific knowledge. The book is intended for a
general audience concerned with today's debates on scientific
knowledge and society. It will be useful for students and
researchers studying philosophy of science, sociology of scientific
knowledge, realism, phenomenology, positivism, logical empiricism,
analytical philosophy, and sustainable scientific knowledge.
