سوسيولوجية المعرفة العلمية: بعض الاعتبارات النقدية

Abstract

Sociology of scientific knowledge: some critical considerations. This article was devoted to the importance of social studies with regards to natural and social scientific knowledge (in the Western sense), in order to humanize it and break the myth of its sacredness, by considering it as a human work, which has social and cultural determinants. This subject has been discussed by explaining the importance of the social and cultural determinants of the scientific knowledge, based on the assumptions of the so-called "The powerful program" as heir andcomplement of the criticism made by the insurrectional movements regarding the cognitive prevailing style of the west.
