Socio-constructivisme - Constructivisme Social / socio-Constructionnisme

    <p class=default>
      
        Philosophers of science should take seriously the fact, emphasized already by Peirce and 
        Popper, that scientific knowledge is a product of the scientific community. The 
        ontological and epistemological views associated with the sociology of science have often 
        been interpreted as forms of relativism and anti-realism. This chapter examines critically 
        the position of the Edinburgh school (Bloor, Barnes). It is argued that the Strong 
        Programme need not be in conflict with realism, but its radically nominalist doctrine of 
        meaning finitism should be rejected. But Latour's social constructivism, if taken 
        literally as an ontological view, cannot be reconciled with scientific realism.
