strong program in the sociology of scientific knowledge
Définition(s)
- This entry explains the basic theses of the influential “Strong Program” in the sociology of scientific knowledge, also known as the “Edinburgh school,” whose main protagonists were Barry Barnes and David Bloor. Supporters of the Strong Program argue that both true and false, and rational and irrational beliefs are open to sociological study and that the same general explanatory processes and causes are at work in the analysis of both cases.
