Stephen G. Brush

Stephen G. Brush (born February 12, 1935) is an American historian of science known particularly for his work on statistical mechanics and geophysics. Quotes The current fashion is to stress the social construction of scientific theories and concepts, and to deny that scientists are actually discovering the truth about the world, or that their efforts to do so have any moral or epistemological superiority to those of pseudoscientists, humanists, and theologians. One of the critical problems, not just in the history of science but in the philosophy and sociology of science, is the extent to which scientific facts are socially constructed rather than discovered. 1995https://fenix.ciencias.ulisboa.pt/downloadFile/1688987299217699/Brush_1995.pdf External links Category:1935 births Category:Living people
