Beskrivning

Among the most influential philosophers of science of the past half-century, Helen Longino has reshaped our understanding of how scientific knowledge is produced, evaluated, and influenced by social values. Her work across feminist philosophy, philosophy of science, philosophy of biology, and social epistemology has transformed debates about objectivity, evidence, and the relationship between science and society. Interactions: Helen Longino and the Social Dimensions of Science includes an oral history and comprehensive bibliography and explores the breadth and continuing significance of Longino’s ideas. Contributors examine how her framework illuminates questions in fields ranging from education and psychology to immunology, hormone research, agricultural science, economics, public policy, and activism. Written by leading scholars and a new generation of philosophers engaging with her work, the volume provides both an introduction to Longino’s thought and a critical exploration of the many ways her ideas continue to shape discussions about science, values, and social inquiry.

Recensioner i media

Interactions is an outstanding volume. The revolutionary revisions to ‘traditional’ philosophy of science that Helen Longino offers are rich in their implications and applications—and this book is proof of that. I found myself extremely impressed by the scope of case studies, issues, and extensions of Longino’s ideas, each of which breaks new ground and shows the enduring significance of Longino’s work.
