| Synopsis: |
This book offers a new account of what makes science special among other human pursuits, critically engaging with a variety of approaches, especially constructivist and relativist studies of science and technology. It focuses on the studied lack of haste of science, its relative stress-freeness and its socially sanctioned withdrawal from the swift pace of ordinary life. "Unhastening Science" offers a balanced and thoughtful argument which emphasizes the dangers of cosseting science from the scourge of internal competition while at the same time highlighting the need for distance between the process of scientific thought and the faster machinery of politics, business, sports, and the media. |
