Epistemic cultures : how the sciences make knowledge
K. Knorr-Cetina (Author)
"By many accounts, contemporary western societies are becoming 'knowledge societies' that run on expert processes and expert systems epitomized by science and structured into all areas of social life. By looking at epistemic cultures in two sample cases, this book addresses pressing questions about how such processes work, what principles inform their cognitive and procedural orientations, and whether their organization, structures, and operations can be extended to other forms of social order."--back cover
