One More Turn after the Social Turn: Easing Science Studies into the Non-Modern World
In Ernan McMullin (editor), The Social Dimensions of Science, Notre Dame University Press: Notre Dame pp.272-292, 1992 [New edition slighly abridged in Mario Biagioli (editor) Science Studies Reader, London Routledge, 1999]
After swift advances the field of social studies of science is now stuck a corner; this deadlock is due to the acceptance by social scientists of the Kantian copernican revolution; the paper shows how to do a counter-copernican revolution, and offers a precise way to deconstruct both nature and society without getting into post-modernist philosophy and offers a map to sort out the various research programs in science studies.
