original University of Minnesota Press editions.
Science has established itself as not merely the dominant but
the only legitimate form of human knowledge. By tying its truth
claims to methodology, science has claimed independence from the
influence of social and historical conditions. Here, Aronowitz
asserts that the norms of science are by no means self-evident and
that science is best seen as a socially constructed discourse that
legitimates its power by presenting itself as truth.
Stanley Aronowitz is professor of sociology in the graduate
school of City University of New York. His books include "Working
Class Hero: A New Strategy for Labor" and, with Henry Giroux,
"Education Under Siege."
