Science and Technology Studies: Prospects for an Enlightened Postmodern Synthesis
Science, Technology and Human Values 18 (1):102-112 (1993)
Abstract
The argument that recent attempts to model technology studies on science studies have consequences for approaches to science studies as well is presented. In particular, the move to technology studies through science studies counts against the existing extreme pictures of science, "enlightenment rationalism," and "constructivisim," which are identified with modernism and postmodernism, respectively. Some components for a moderate "enlightened post-modern synthesis" in naturalism, interest theory, and systems theory are foundAuthor's Profile
