Disrupting Science: Social Movements, American Scientists, and the Politics of the Military, 1945-1975

摘要

As a sociologist, Kelly Moore is very much concerned with generalizing on the historical data she has unearthed, which are considerable. Her data support a straightforward thesis: The unquestioned preeminence of science in the United States at the end of World War II had largely vanished within three decades. This was at least in part because some scientists sought to redefine the proper "relationships between fact and value, between politics and science, and between expert and citizen" (p. 2).
