The book is an attempt to bring together what are often seen as
incommensurable scientific and philosophical positions. Its core
argument is that a main reason for the divisions about what
constitutes scientific knowledge relates to disagreements on
philosophical issues. The book explores what these disagreements are
about, and discusses whether they can be overcome. Taking a historical
perspective, the book traces the divides in science back to three main
philosophical traditions: realism, idealism, and scepticism. It maps
how these have inspired three main current positions in science:
logical empiricism, phenomenology, and sociology of scientific
knowledge. The book is intended for a general audience concerned with
today’s debates on scientific knowledge and society. It will be
useful for students and researchers studying philosophy of science,
sociology of scientific knowledge, realism, phenomenology, positivism,
logical empiricism, analytical philosophy, and sustainable scientific
knowledge.
