The context of making science

Evandro Agazzi

pp. 413-436

Starting in the 1960s, a 'sociological" trend in the philosophy of science began to develop, and since that time has become very influential, despite the strong opposition of several authoritative scholars. As with the "linguistic turn," this 'sociological turn" has its strong and its weak points. These depend on the interpretation given to its key thesis, that is, the social dependence of science.
