The sociological study of science by early pioneers like De Solla Price and Merton has given way to science and technology in society ( STS ). Latour and Woolgar have studied the social construction of empirical findings in lab work. Sociological studies of Nobel Prize‐winners in science indicate that those who study with Nobel Prize‐winners are themselves the most likely recipients of the Nobel Prize, presumably because they have firsthand information about the cutting‐edge topics and techniques. In hermeneutics the idea of a “hermeneutic circle” or “spiral” in science is associated with “interaction between agents” and close ties between theorists and empirical researchers. In semiotics the notion of an interpretive community or network has been postulated as an aspect of C.S. Peirce's more abstract notion of a recursive “interpretant.” Collins has stressed the general importance of networks. His theory holds that there is a “law of small numbers” and that the half a dozen or so major “philosophers” in any particular time and place are very likely to know one another. Each thinker searches for a niche. Full comprehension of the theory requires an understanding of the network
