It consists of five elements, that is, it happens in five distinct  media: biological, linguistic, technological, social, and historical.  None of these alone provides an indubitable basis for the truth of  scientific knowledge, but combined together they compose a solid  ground for our trust in its reliability. The composition, however, is  uniquely related to our modern mode of living. Science did not exist  before modernity, and it will cease to exist in this form if our way  of life should change. The book presents a thorough analysis of all  these dimensions and their relations, and thus lays the path for an  integral theory of science. Because of this it can be used as a  textbook for general courses in the theory of science at both the  undergraduate and graduate level.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781402002472\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-9036-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 302\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358936494220,"sku":"9781402002472","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402002472.jpg?v=1772024696","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781402002472","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
