"The Science as Social Knowledge" (book)

"The Science as Social Knowledge" is a book that explores how scientific understanding is shaped by social factors, such as cultural values, community practices, and collaborative efforts. It argues that science is not just a collection of objective facts but a human activity influenced by societal contexts, beliefs, and interactions among scientists. The book highlights the importance of social processes in producing reliable knowledge and encourages recognizing the social dimensions that underpin scientific progress, fostering a more nuanced appreciation of how science operates within and is affected by society.
