Category:Sociology of scientific knowledge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The sociology of scientific knowledge (SSK) is a recognised school of loosely allied thinkers, inspired by to a certain degree by Gaston Bachelard, Emile Durkheim, Paul Feyerabend and most importantly by Thomas Kuhn, and including David Bloor and Bruno Latour as its main representatives. These thinkers consider social influences on science. They argue that social factors play a role, along empirical factors normally considered to be paramount, in deciding whether a theory is scientifically true or not.
