Political Epistemology: The Problem of Ideology in Science Studies
Springer Verlag (2019)
Abstract
This book is an investigation of the ideological dimensions of the disciplinary discourses on science in line with the scholarly tradition of historical epistemology. It offers a programmatic treatment of the political-epistemological problematic along three entangled lines of inquiry: socio-historical, epistemological and historiographical. The book aims for a meta-level integration of the existing scholarship on the social and cultural history of science in order to consider the ways in which struggles for hegemony have constantly informed scientific discourses. This problematic is of primary relevance for scholars in Science Studies, philosophers, historians and sociologists of science, but would also be relevant for anybody interested in scientific culture and political theory.Author's Profile

On Both Sides of the Iron Curtain: The Marxist Struggle for Cultural Hegemony and HPS for a ‘Free Society’
This chapter is devoted to the inception of Cold-War history of science and especially focuses on the Marxist challenge as the starting impulse. First, it deals with the extension of the political struggle of the 1920s and 1930s on the meta-discourse of science, that is to say, the insertion of the ... see more
The Logic of Science and Technology as a Developmental Tendency of Modernity
The post-Marxist Hungarian philosopher Ágnes Heller can be taken as a significant reference for a non-specialist philosophical engagement with science and modernity. In her book A Theory of Modernity she emphasized the relevance of science and technology for forming an insightful historical and phil... see more
Towards a Political Epistemology: Positioning Science Studies
The Baconian dictum—concisely summarized as “knowledge is power”—has been more often repeated than thoroughly reflected upon. After four hundred years it still raises piercing questions, which are all the more urgent today as our societies have ostensibly become the product of a planetary knowledge ... see more
Introduction: Science, Ideology, Praxis
While historians, sociologists, and philosophers of knowledge investigate the genesis, justification, and consequences of scientific advance, they all too often leave implicit or undeveloped one pressing question: which collective agendas lie behind the scientific endeavor? It would be possible to a... see more
