Sociology of science

Japanese: 科学社会学 - かがくしゃかいがく(英語表記)sociology of science
Sociology of science
A specialized field that regards science as a social and human endeavor and attempts to analyze it using concepts and methods from sociology and related fields. It was proposed in 1949 by American sociologist R.K. Merton. It takes the position that connections with factors other than science, such as regulations and constraints in various aspects such as culture, economy, ideology, and systems, cannot be ignored. Along with historical research on science (→ history of science) and philosophical research on science (→ philosophy of science), it constitutes part of the theory of science.
