Opis

Scientific Imperialism examines interdisciplinary relations emerging from the incursion of one scientific discipline into one or more other disciplines. The contributors also explore ways of distinguishing imperialistic from non-imperialistic interactions between disciplines and research fields.

Recenzje

I recommend this book to historians and philosophers who are interested in scientific imperialism, but also to those studying interdisciplinarity, philosophy of economics, and epistemic injustice. Scholars of naturalized epistemology and philosophers of mind might also have use for some contributions, especially those of Ferna´ndez Pinto and Janssen-Lauret. Scientists who want to conduct good interdisciplinary research can obtain some informative guidance from both the philosophical and historical contributions.
