The public's role in the science wars / Life inside a case study / Conversing seriously with sociologists / How to be antiscientific / Physics and history / Science studies as epistemography / From social construction to questions for research: the promise of the sociology of science / A Martian sends a postcard home / Awakening a sleeping giant? / Remarks on methodological relativism and "antiscience' / One more round with relativism / Overdetermination and contingency / Reclaiming responsibility / Split personalities, or the science wars within / Situated knowledge and common enemies: therapy for the science wars / Real essences and human experience / It's a conversation! / Confessions of a believer / Barbarians at which gates? / Peace at last? / Reply to our critics / Crown jewels and rough diamonds: the source of science's authority / Trevor Pinch -- Jean Bricmont, Alan Sokal -- Michael Lynch -- Jane Gregory, Steve Miller -- Peter R. Saulson -- N. David Mermin -- Steven Shapin -- Steven Weinberg / Peter Dear -- Kenneth G. Wilson, Constance K. Barsky -- Harry Collins -- Jay A. Labinger -- Jean Bricmont, Alan Sokat -- Harry Collins -- Peter Dear -- Jane Gregory -- Jay A. Labinger -- Michael Lynch -- N. David Mermin -- Trevor Pinch -- Peter R. Saulson -- Steven Shapin -- Steven Weinberg -- Jean Bricmont, Alan Sokal -- Harry Collins. Another visit to epistemography / Let's not get too agreeable / Causality, grammar, and working philosophies: some final comments / Readings and misreadings / Peace for whom and on whose terms? / Pilgrims' progress / Historiographical uses of scientific knowledge / Beyond social construction / Peter Dear -- Jay A. Labinger -- Michael Lynch -- N. David Mermin -- Trevor Pinch -- Peter R. Saulson -- Steven Weinberg -- Kenneth G. Wilson, Constance K. Barsky.
So far the "Science Wars" have generated far more heat than light. Combatants from one or the other of what C.P. Snow famously called "the two cultures" (science versus the arts and humanities) have launched bitter attacks but have seldom engaged in constructive dialogue about the central issues. In The One Culture?, Jay A. Labinger and Harry Collins have gathered together some of the world's foremost scientists and sociologists of science to exchange opinions and ideas rather than insults. The contributors find surprising areas of broad agreement in a genuine conversation.
