Abstract

Anticonstructivism, favored by Langdon Winner, is destructive when compared to constructivism. Winner feels that the new form of constructivism in the sociology of technology is the end of intellectualism. He is pessimistic about science and the human values associated with it. Clifford Geertz is optimistic and feels that Winner's fear and doubts will retard progress.
