Kochan shows convincingly that these apparently quite different approaches to science are, in fact, largely compatible, even mutually reinforcing. By combining Heidegger with SSK, Kochan argues, we can explicate, elaborate, and empirically ground Heidegger's philosophy of science in a way that makes it more accessible and useful for social scientists and historians of science. Likewise, incorporating Heideggerian phenomenology into SSK renders SKK a more robust and attractive methodology for use by scholars in the interdisciplinary field of Science and Technology Studies (STS). Kochan's ground-breaking reinterpretation of Heidegger also enables STS scholars to sustain a principled analytical focus on scientific subjectivity, without running afoul of the orthodox subject-object distinction they often reject. Science as Social Existence is the first book of its kind, unfurling its argument through a range of topics relevant to contemporary STS research. These include the epistemology and metaphysics of scientific practice, as well as the methods of explanation appropriate to social scientific and historical studies of science. This volume puts concentrated emphasis on the compatibility of Heidegger's existential conception of science with the historical sociology of scientific knowledge, pursuing this combination at both macro- and micro-historical levels. Beautifully written and accessible, this book puts new and powerful tools into the hands of sociologists and historians of science, cultural theorists of science, Heidegger scholars, and pluralist philosophers of science. 517 $aScience as Social Existence 606 $aHistory & Philosophy Of Science 606 $aexistential conception of science 606 $ahistory of science 606 $aphilosophy of science 606 $ascience and technology studies 606 $asocial sciences 606 $asociology of scientific knowledge 615 4$aHistory & Philosophy Of Science 615 4$aexistential conception of science 615 4$ahistory of science 615 4$aphilosophy of science 615 4$ascience and technology studies 615 4$asocial sciences 615 4$asociology of scientific knowledge 700 $aKochan$b Jeff$0864765 801 0$bFR-FrMaCLE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495731603321 996 $aScience as social existence$91930249 997 $aUNINA
