This volume discusses, and manifests, three interrelated
perspectives in social theory. First, that all knowledge, including
scientific knowledge, is theoretical: there are alternative
perspectives, or theories, about any phenomenon. Second, that all
knowledge, including scientific knowledge is political: these
alternative perspectives are contested, as they are related to
different groups with different interests. Third, that all
knowledge, including scientific knowledge, is social: alternative
perspectives have alternative social causes and alternative social
effects.
