Synopsis
In its original edition, "No Other Gods", offered a pioneering and influential examination of the ways in which social institutions and values shaped American scientific practice and thought. In this expanded edition, Rosenberg directs our attention to the dilemmas posed by the social study of science: how can we reconcile the scientist's understanding of science as a quest for truth and knowledge with the historian's conviction that all knowledge bears the marks of the culture which gave it birth?
