Titel: Scientific practice and ordinary action : ethnomethodology and social studies of science

Sammendrag: This book critically reviews arguments and empirical studies in two areas of sociology that have had a significant role in the "sociological turn" in science studies: ethnomethodology and the sociology of scientific knowledge. It explores the possibility of an empirical approach to the epistemic contents of science that avoids the pitfalls of scientism and foundationalism.
