The growing body of research on interdisciplinarity has encouraged
a more in depth analysis of the relations that hold among academic
disciplines. In particular, the incursion of one scientific
discipline into another discipline's traditional domain, also known
as scientific imperialism, has been a matter of increasing debate.
Following this trend, Scientific Imperialism aims to bring together
philosophers of science and historians of science interested in the
topic of scientific imperialism and, in particular, interested in
the conceptual clarification, empirical identification, and
normative assessment of the idea of scientific imperialism. Thus,
this innovative volume has two main goals. Indeed, the authors
first seek to understand interdisciplinary relations emerging from
the incursion of one scientific discipline into one or more other
disciplines, such as in cases in which the conventions and
procedures of one discipline or field are imposed on other fields;
or more weakly when a scientific discipline seeks to explain
phenomena that are traditionally considered proper of another
discipline's domain. Secondly, the authors explore ways of
distinguishing imperialistic from non-imperialistic interactions
between disciplines and research fields. The first sustained study
of scientific imperialism, this volume will appeal to postgraduate
students and postdoctoral researchers interested in fields such as
Science and Technology Studies, Sociology of Science &
Technology, Philosophy of Science, and History of Science.
