This book presents a collection of old and new essays exploring the
author's unique contributions to the sociology of science,
mathematics, logic, robotics, brain, and god. Known for his defense
of a strong social constructionist approach to the hard problems in
the sociology of science, the power and range of Restivo's
interests and studies are discussed in this unique text. The essays
range from his introduction of the sociology of objectivity early
in his career to his recent construction of a social brain
paradigm. The author situates himself in the context of the leading
paradigms in science studies and his relationships with leading
figures in the field including Latour, Woolgar, Needham, and D.T.
Campbell. The book demonstrates a general theoretical focus on the
rejection of transcendence. He rejects Platonism in mathematics and
socially situates consciousness, genius, and God. The author's wide
ranging interdisciplinary competencies reflect classical and
postmodern influences and will be an invaluable reference for
researchers working in this field.
