Scientific Growth: Essays on the Social Organization and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ben-David, Joseph, PUBLISHER: University ong>ofong> California Press, A pioneer and major thinker in ong>theong> sociology ong>ofong> science, Joseph Ben-David wrote with refreshing directness on questions central to ong>theong> history and sociology ong>ofong> science. As ong>theong>y are combined here, Ben-David's essays reveal ong>theong> richness and synong>theong>tic power ong>ofong> his intellect in a way his separate publications never did. Two ong>theong>mes form ong>theong> heart ong>ofong> Ben-David's ground-breaking work: ong>theong> emergence, existence, and growth ong>ofong> science as a distinctive activity within society, governed by a specific "scientific ethos"; and ong>theong> social construction both ong>ofong> new objects ong>ofong> scientific study and ong>ofong> new scientific disciplines. Ben-David argues that only where ong>theong> 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 ong>theong> 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 ong>theong>oretical framework capable ong>ofong> integrating both ong>theong> historical and ong>theong> synchronic approaches; it is also complementary to ong>theong> perspective ong>ofong> ong>theong> sociology ong>ofong> scientific knowledge.
