ultural Studies
of Science
This area of cultural studies is
the most ideologically
sensitive of all, for science has
been, and still is, the totem of
European secular culture. In
the centuries-long struggle
between the ideologues of
science and those of religion,
the central claim was that
science uniquely had truth, as
opposed to nonsense studies
like theology and metaphysics.
The practice of science, as
with any form of disciplined
study, is profoundly shaped by
value commitments.
