Sociocultural factors and historiography of science
pp. 193-201
Abstract
The question of the role of sociocultural factors in the evolution of scientific knowledge is one of the most important in the historiography of science. Should or should not an historian of science take account of the sociocultural context in which scientific knowledge developed? Is he right in limiting himself to the cognitive factors?
