Roald Hoffmann
Roald Hoffmann's unsurpassed accomplishments on both sides of the humanities/sciences border (which much of his career has been aimed at demolishing) have been recognized by, inter alia, the 2022 SLSA Lifetime Achievement Award and the 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. His work spans a wide range of SLSA-related topics: the creative nature of science in general and chemistry in particular, the central role of narrative in scientific investigation an…
Under the Literary Microscope
In a 1990 essay, a leading scholar of literature and science opined: \n \nWe shall not find in literature widespread reference to the ordinary doings of the sciences . . . reference to science in fiction . . . is nearly always to the scientist as a magical, isolated individual.... So when we look for the "scientist in literature" we shall not find him or her so much at the level of social description as at that of myth
Logic and the Editor
Gabriel Stolzenberg’s thoughtful and, on the whole, complimentary review of The One Culture? (Stolzenberg, 2004) (the latter adjective implies the former, of course!) leaves me little if anything to rebut, and not much more to say. But I would like to comment on one of his remarks: It [the conversation] too contains misreadings and faulty logic, more than I thought the editors would tolerate. But most of it seems to be due to incompetence, or at …
The One Culture
Combatants from one or other of the two cultures (Science versus the arts and humanities) in the so-called Science Wars have launcehed bitter attacks but have seldom engaged in constructive dialogue about central issues. This book is about an exchange of opinions and ideas rather than a trading of insults. contributors find areas of broad agreement in a conversation about science, its legitamacy and authority as a means of understanding the world…
Out of the Petri Dish Endlessly Rocking
I am pleased that my Comment has elicited such a set of (on the \nwhole) thoughtful Responses, and also that most of the Responders \nappear to agree, either explicitly (especially Collins, \nLynch and Stockdale) or implicitly, that science and SCS are \nengaged in fundamentally similar activities; that should make it \neasier to find common ground. The main exception, Hakken, disagrees that STS is like science, and also stands out in calling for…
Science as Culture
Recent work in sociological/cultural studies of science (SCS) is characterized by the virtually total absence of any participation by practising scientists. This interdisciplinary barrier appears to be largely a consequence of the relativist approach to the study of science. In addition to having philosophical objections, scientists may reasonably ask whether an approach that effectively renders their interests irrelevant is strategically sound. …
