Reseña del editor
The Scenes of Inquiry advocates a radical shift of concern - from answers and doctrines to questions and problems - in philosophical, historical, and sociological studies of the sciences, and explores the consequences of such a shift. The historically-orientated first part of the work deals with the ways in which ranges of questions become real and cease to be real for communities of inquirers. It offers a series of hypotheses, illustrated by case studies, concerning the methodological, historical, and social factors responsible for such shifts of `scenes of inquiry' in the sciences. The more philosophically-orientated second part of the work addresses doubts about the claims of the sciences to have accumulated absolutely real questions. It is argued that recent studies in the sociology and social history of the sciences pose strong challenges to the sciences by revealing how appeals to authority, vested interests, and rhetorical and aesthetic sensibilities play substantial roles in the practices of the sciences. The final chapter defends the pragmatic stance of the work, and of its companion, The Fortunes of Inquiry (OUP, 1986), and draws morals about the roles of criticism and reflection in the philosophy of science and in the sciences themselves.

Oxford, University Press, 1991. X, 245 pp. Very good copy. Orig. cloth with dustjacket. This book advocates a radical shift of concern in philosophical, historical, and sociological studies of the sciences, and explores the consequences of such a shift. The historically-oriented first part of the work deals with the ways in which ranges of questions become real and cease to be real for communities of inquirers.
