Description

Re-crafting Rationalization: Enchanted Science and Mundane Mysteries provides a deep look into the debates surrounding the public understanding of science. This work examines how the relationship between science and the public is conceptualized in modern society. Instead of following the standard science-centered or top-down framework found in many current notions of knowledge-transfer and public engagement, this book offers a different perspective. It stays grounded in the discourse of classical social theory to present a new way of looking at how society interacts with scientific knowledge. By proposing an alternative version of rationalization to the standard interpretation of Weber's disenchantment thesis, the text helps readers rethink existing models. It is an essential resource for those studying the sociology of science and the complexities of how information moves between experts and the general public.
