Reviews

[Sharad Pandian · Rating 5 out of 5]

An introductory textbook to the Sociology of Science, it is simultaneously the most patient book I've read, with hand-holding in every paragraph, and the most exasperated, since the authors realize they will almost certainly be misunderstood despite all the hand-holding.

[Alexandre Guay · Rating 3 out of 5]

Une défense sérieuse du relativisme épistémologique. À lire ne serait-ce que pour leur répondre.
