The Science as Social Knowledge

"The Science as Social Knowledge" refers to the idea that scientific understanding is shaped by social contexts, values, and interactions among people. Scientific knowledge doesn't exist in a vacuum; it is influenced by cultural, political, and economic factors. This means that how we do science, the questions we ask, and the knowledge we produce are all affected by the society in which we live. Therefore, recognizing the social dimensions of science helps us understand its role in our lives and the importance of diverse perspectives in advancing knowledge.
