Ben-David argues that only where the scientist's social role is institutionalized (i.e., recognized as legitimate by society at large), can science as a sustained and continuous activity exist and thrive. By the same token, new scientific objects and disciplines emerge where social circumstances encourage and sustain new ("hybridized") social roles. Ben-David's is a distinctly historical sociology ong>ofong> science, providing a theoretical framework capable ong>ofong> integrating both the historical and the synchronic approaches; it is also complementary to the perspective ong>ofong> the sociology ong>ofong> scientific knowledge.
