Puslishing of Science as Social Knowledge: Values and Objectivity in Scientific Inquiry
In this book Longino says that there are implicit assumptions in the conflict between philosophy of science and sociology of science. That is, rationality and sociality are treated as opposing concepts. She argues that such a confrontational understanding of “rationality/sociality” is wrong, and rather says that it is the existence of sociality that makes perception more rational. -
