It introduces Martins? wide-ranging contributions to the social sciences, encompassing seminal works in the fields of philosophy and social theory, historical and political sociology, studies of science and technology, and Luso-Brazilian studies, among others. The book features an in-depth interview with Martins, short memoirs, and twelve chapters addressing topics that were central to his intellectual and political interests. Among those that stand out are his critique of Thomas Kuhn?s theory of scientific revolutions, his work on the significance of time in social theory and the interweaving of techno-scientific developments and socio-cultural transformations, including the impact of communication and digital technologies, and of market-led eugenics. Other themes covered are Martins? work on patrimonialism and social development in Portugal and Brazil, and his analysis of the state of the social sciences in Portugal, which reflects his highly critical appraisal of the ongoing marketization andneoliberalization of academic life and institutions worldwide. 410 0$aSt Antony's Series,$x2633-5964 606 $aTechnology?Sociological aspects 606 $aSocial sciences?Philosophy 606 $aCultural studies 606 $aEthnology?Latin America 606 $aScience and Technology Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22270 606 $aSocial Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22140 606 $aCultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22040 606 $aLatin American Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411080 615 0$aTechnology?Sociological aspects. 615 0$aSocial sciences?Philosophy. 615 0$aCultural studies. 615 0$aEthnology?Latin America. 615 14$aScience and Technology Studies. 615 24$aSocial Theory. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 615 24$aLatin American Culture. 676 $a300.1 702 $aCastro$b José Esteban$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aFowler$b Bridget$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGomes$b Luís$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300608003321 996 $aTime, Science and the Critique of Technological Reason$92129486 997 $aUNINA
