Anthropology and Science Epistemologies in Practice

Drawing on ethnographic examples from across the world, and from the virtual and global "places" created by new information technologies,Anthropology and Sciencepresents examples of living and dynamic epistemologies and practices, and of how scientific ways of knowing operate in the world. Authors address the nature of both scientific and experiential knowledge, and look at competing and alternative ideas about what it means to be human. The essays analyze the politics and ethics of positioning "science", "culture" or "society" as authoritative.Edwards, Jeanette is the author of 'Anthropology and Science Epistemologies in Practice', published 2007 under ISBN 9781845205003 and ISBN 1845205006.
