Reconfiguring Truth : Postmodernism, Science Studies, and the Search for a New Model of Knowledge

This refreshingly original book links the postmodern critique of notions such as'reality'and'truth'with approaches to knowledge found in science and technology studies (STS), a field also discontent with traditional epistemology. Exploring STS approaches to knowledge, such as actor-network theory, Ward forges a path through the impasse of the modernism vs. postmodernism debate. Reconfiguring Knowledge is an important work for social scientists and theorists, philosophers, historians, and scholars of science and technology.
