The Governance of Science: Ideology and the Future of the Open Society (Issues in Society) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Fuller (sociology, U. of Warwick, UK) explores the institutions and ideologies surrounding the practice of science in the western world. Liberal, communitarian, and republican analyses of the proper activity of science are examined and the effects of the increasing hegemony over the scientific sphere by business and government are explored. Fuller argues for a republican ideal of science that places the realm back in universities disconnected from special interests. Distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c.
