Science in Context: Reading in the Sociology of Science, edited by Barry Barnes and David Edge, is a foundational anthology that explores the social dimensions of scientific knowledge and practice. Bringing together key texts from the sociology of scientific knowledge (SSK) and the Strong Programme, the book examines how social, cultural, and political factors actively shape scientific theories and institutional developments. Through historical case studies and theoretical essays, it challenges the view of science as an isolated, purely objective pursuit, demonstrating instead how deeply embedded scientific discovery is within its broader societal context.
