It focuses on the studied 'lack of haste' of science, its relative stress-freeness and its socially sanctioned withdrawal from the swift pace of ordinary life. Unhastening Science offers a balanced and thoughtful argument which emphasises the dangers of cosseting science from the 'scourge' of internal competition while at the same time highlighting the need for 'distance' between the process of scientific thought and the faster machinery of politics, business, sports, and the media.Studies in social and political thought ;7.Knowledge, Sociology ofScienceSocial aspectsKnowledge, Sociology of.ScienceSocial aspects.306.4/5Pels Dick1948-880890UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910782020403321Unhastening science3806610UNINA
