The Evolution of Scientific Knowledge aims to reach a unique
understanding of science with the help of economic and sociological
theories. The economic theories used are institutionalist and
evolutionary. The sociological theories draw from the type of work
on social studies of science that have, in recent decades,
transformed our picture of science and technology. Science - and
more broadly research - is a field where economics and sociology
meet in an attempt to understand how complex organizations emerge
and work. While the authors argue that science is neither an
institution nor an order that emerged as the result of conscious
and willful design, nor is it like a 'normal' market, they also
acknowledge that science has aspects of market orders and aspects
of orders created by design. Furthermore, science develops in
specific ways that are to some extent like the development of
economic systems, and at the same time are very different. This
fascinating book will be of great interest to economists,
philosophers, historians and sociologists by focussing on a
multidisciplinary understanding of science.
