Beyond the Science Wars offers a broad contextualization of the Science Wars-an ongoing debate between scientists and social scientists over the nature and meaning of science-from interdisciplinary sociological, historical, scientific, political, and cultural perspectives. Beyond providing an understanding of the conflict itself, this book presents the comments of two science and technology studies (STS) founding fathers (Bernard Barber and John Ziman), a scientists protest that STS has abandoned its original mission, a historians view of the fluctuating social support for science, and a sociologists analysis of the motives of anti-antiscience warriors. In addition, an STS statesman discusses ongoing structural changes in science, a sociologist sorts out different views of objectivity, and an STS veteran from the Science Wars brings us tales from the front and evaluates the meaning of recent events.
