Science Transformed?: Debating Claims of an Epochal Break

Buch

Advancements in computing, instrumentation, robotics, digital imaging, and simulation modelling have changed science into a technology driven institution. Government, industry, and society increasingly exert their influence over science, raising questions of values and objectivity. This presents an in-depth examination of these issues from philosophical, historical, social, and cultural perspectives. It offers arguments both for and against the epochal break thesis.
