Scientific Imperialism: Exploring the Boundaries of Interdisciplinarity: Routledge Studies in Science, Technology and Society

Editat de Uskali Mäki, Adrian Walsh, Manuela Fernández Pinto
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 oct 2017
The growing body of research on interdisciplinarity has encouraged a more in depth analysis of the relations that hold among academic disciplines. In particular, the incursion of one scientific discipline into another discipline’s traditional domain, also known as scientific imperialism, has been a matter of increasing debate.
Following this trend, Scientific Imperialism aims to bring together philosophers of science and historians of science interested in the topic of scientific imperialism and, in particular, interested in the conceptual clarification, empirical identification, and normative assessment of the idea of scientific imperialism. Thus, this innovative volume has two main goals. Indeed, the authors first seek to understand interdisciplinary relations emerging from the incursion of one scientific discipline into one or more other disciplines, such as in cases in which the conventions and procedures of one discipline or field are imposed on other fields; or more weakly when a scientific discipline seeks to explain phenomena that are traditionally considered proper of another discipline’s domain. Secondly, the authors explore ways of distinguishing imperialistic from non-imperialistic interactions between disciplines and research fields.
The first sustained study of scientific imperialism, this volume will appeal to postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers interested in fields such as Science and Technology Studies, Sociology of Science & Technology, Philosophy of Science, and History of Science.

Recenzii

I recommend this book to historians and philosophers who are interested in scientific imperialism, but also to those studying interdisciplinarity, philosophy of economics, and epistemic injustice. Scholars of naturalized epistemology and philosophers of mind might also have use for some contributions, especially those of Ferna´ndez Pinto and Janssen-Lauret. Scientists who want to conduct good interdisciplinary research can obtain some informative guidance from both the philosophical and historical contributions.
