But in any case, it is not clear what is to be gained by ignoring, disowning or maybe even re-educating these people. A better strategy begins by trying to understand them. And that's where science studies enters the picture. Steve Fuller is Professor of Sociology at the University of Durham. Science is socially constructed.
Science is whatever enough people think it is.
The validity of scientific claims must be understood in relation to the claimant's perspective. There is no distinction between reality and how people represent it. Science Studies has its own aims and methods. Science Studies willfully ignores the aims and methods of science. Science is only one possible way of interpreting experience.
