Description

Explore the complex relationship between culture and scientific knowledge in Cultures without Culturalism: The Making of Scientific Knowledge. Published by Duke University Press, this volume addresses the growing need for cultural accounts of scientific ideas while providing a necessary corrective to theories that view science as purely universal. The contributors examine the risks of culturalism, a tendency to overgeneralize the role of culture and fall into an essentialism that ignores the variety of scientific work. Instead of flattening the range of scientific practices, this collection models a new path for understanding how science functions. By focusing on historicized and cultural accounts, the book maintains the specificity and complexity of scientific practice. This is an essential read for those studying the history and philosophy of science, offering a nuanced perspective on how scientific knowledge is constructed within different cultural contexts.
