Knowledge and the world

Martin Carrier, Johannes Roggenhofer, Günter Küppers, Philippe Blanchard (eds)

Springer - Berlin

2004

The fundamental question of whether, or in what sense, science informs us about the real world has pervaded the history of thought since antiquity. Is what science tells us about the world determined unambiguously by facts, or does the content of any scientific theory in some way depend on the human condition? "Sokal's hoax" attacked the mere seriousness of post-modern views of science and shifted this controversial debate to a new level, which very quickly came to be known as "Science Wars".
