KORTE INHOUD

Softcover, pb, 8vo, 384 pp., index

Science as Power: Discourse and Ideology in Modern Society by Stanley Aronowitz examines the role of science in shaping modern society, focusing on the intersection of scientific knowledge, power structures, and ideology. Aronowitz, a sociologist, argues that science is not a neutral or objective enterprise, but rather a powerful social institution that can reinforce political, economic, and cultural power. Through a critical lens, the book explores how scientific discourse influences social norms, politics, and decision-making, and how science is often used to legitimize authority and control. Aronowitz addresses the complex relationship between knowledge, power, and ideology, providing a thorough critique of the role of science in contemporary society.
