NEW FRONTIERS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIES

Book ID/图书代码： 10963005B10831

English Summary/英文概要： Steve Fuller has a reputation for setting the terms of debate within science and technology studies. In his latest book, "New Frontiers in Science and Technology Studies" he charts the debates likely to be of relevance in the coming years. Should science and technology be treated as separate entities? What impact has globalization had on science and technology? Can science be clearly distinguished from other forms of knowledge? Does the politicization of science really matter? Is there a role for the social regulation of scientific inquiry? Should we be worried about research fraud?These questions are explored by examining an array of historical, philosophical and contemporary sources. Attention is paid, for example, to the Bruno Latour’s "The Politics of Nature" as a model for science policy, as well as the global controversy surrounding Bjorn Lomborg’s "The Sceptical Environmentalist", which led to the dismantling and re-establishment of the Danish national research ethics board.
"New Frontiers in Science and Technology Studies" will appeal strongly to scholars and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in courses concerned with the social dimensions of science and technology, and anyone who cares about the future of science.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Steve Fuller對KUHN VS.POPPER的辯論在科技領域內做的定義使他名聲大噪。在他的新書《新版科技新前沿》中，他提出了接下來幾年將會發生的辯論：

科技可以獨立存在嗎？全球化對科技會產生什麼樣的影響？科技能脫離其他學科獨立存在嗎?科技政治化重要嗎？科技探索的社會調整應該扮演怎樣的角色？我們需要擔心研究造假嗎？Steve Fuller在研究了一系列科學史、科學哲學和當代科學資源後回答了這些問題。他關注Bruno Latour的《自然政治學》，用以研究科學政治，也關注引起全球爭議的Bjorn Lomborg的理論：“持懷疑論的環境保護者”。這兩個理論直接導致了丹麥國家研究規則委員會的重組和廢除。（Celia）
