摘要
This paper surveys three controversial new directions in research about the nature of science and briefly summarizes both the intellectual and sociological impact of this work. A bibliographic introduction to the major literature is provided and some fruitful directions for future research are proposed. Philosophers of science are also exhorted to perform 'community service' by correcting misunderstandings of the methods of science fostered by these new approaches. 1 Introduction 2 Sociology of scientific knowledge 3 Feminist critiques of science 4 Postmodernism and the 'Science Wars' 5 Conclusion.
