"Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is one of the best known and most influential books of the twentieth century. Whether they adore or revile him, critics and fans alike have tended to agree on one thing: Kuhn's ideas were revolutionary. But were they?Steve Fuller argues that Kuhn actually held a profoundly conservative view of science and how one ought to study its history. Early on, Kuhn came under the influence of ..."

"'Post-Truth' was Oxford Dictionary's 2016 word of the year. While the term was coined by its disparagers, especially in light of the Brexit and US Presidential campaigns, the roots of post-truth lie deep in the history of Western social and political theory. This book reaches back to Plato, ranges across theology and philosophy, and focuses on the Machiavellian tradition in classical sociology. The key figure here is Vilfredo Pareto, wh ..."

"'Knowledge Management Foundations' is just what it claims, the first attempt to provide a secure intellectual footing for the myriad of practices called "knowledge management." A breath of fresh air from the usual KM gurus, Fuller openly admits that the advent of KM is a mixed blessing that often amounts to the conduct of traditional management by subtler means. However, Fuller's deep understanding of both the history of management theo ..."

"C. Wright Mills' classic The Sociological Imagination has inspired generations of students to study Sociology. However, the book is nearly half a century old. What would a book address, aiming to attract and inform students in the 21st century? This is the task that Steve Fuller sets himself in this major new invitation to study Sociology. The book: " critically examines the history of the social sciences to discover what the k ..."

"If you think Intelligent Design Theory (IDT) is merely the respectable face of Christian fundamentalism, and Evolution the only sensible scientific world-view, think again...IDT has driven science for 500 years. It was responsible for the 17th century's Scientific Revolution and helped build modern histories of physics, mathematics, genetics and social science. IDT's proponents take literally the Biblical idea that humans have been crea ..."

"In 1965 Thomas Kuhn and Karl Popper met at the University of London to stage what has turned out to be the most momentous philosophical debate of the 20th century. At stake was no less than the soul of science itself...No discipline remained untouched by the consequences of this exchange. Was it really such a good thing that Kuhn's 'postmodernism' triumphed over Popper's 'positivism'? Kuhn vs. Popper is a provocative account of a landma ..."

"However, it was only in the 1970s and the rise of STS that science was fully
incorporated within the sociology of knowledge. In the second stage, scientific
rationality is bracketed. This is characteristic of mainstream STS research today.
Bracketing implies that apparent differences in the rationality of, say, science and
religion or politics — or even true science and false science — is an artifact of the
evaluative framework the ..."
"Academia continues to send mixed messages about the need to publish in peer-
reviewed journals while, at the same time, ... is traceable to the terms on which
the experimental natural sciences were incorporated into the universities in the
late 19th century, ... In short, Mode 1 and Mode 2 were born largely as opposite
sides of the same coin, which was the recognition of ... The humanities, which up
to that point had dominated the u ..."
"For centuries, science and religion have been portrayed as diametrically opposed. In this provocative new book, Steve Fuller examines the apparent clash between science and religion by focusing on the heated debates about evolution and intelligent design theory. In so doing, he claims that science vs. religion is in fact a false dichotomy. For Fuller, supposedly intellectual disputes, such as those between creationist and evolutionist a ..."
"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 ..."
"We have already encountered the third source of misdirection in Peter Singer's
recent attempt to launch a 'Darwinian Left' successor to Marxism, perhaps the
most remarkable feat of karmic politics ever (Singer, 1999a). The Darwinian Left ..."

"But can the same be same be said of Newtonian mechanics, which, after all, is
Laudan's own example — and certainly a theory around which philosophers are
more likely to find a consensus "rational"? The case of Newtonian mechanics is
more difficult to establish, if only because we must contend with over two
centuries of Whig history. However, a good place to start would be with the
eighteenth-century French scientific and philosophi ..."

"Chomsky, Dawkins, Germaine Greer, Martin Amis . . . with regular TV appearances, newspaper columns and cultural commentary, intellectuals are indispensable characters of modern life. But what is an intellectual? What distinguishes them from philosophers, scientists, politicians or entrepreneurs? Why are they happy to be insulted as long as they are not ignored? As well as a history of the intellectual from Ancient Greece to post-9/11, S ..."
