Preferred term

science and ideology  

Definition

  • This entry explains the intricate nature of the ideological critique of science. It first charts different notions of ideology and goes on to show how what is commonly taken as the paradigmatic domain of objective truth—scientific knowledge—can be viewed from the standpoint of certain conceptions of ideology as a sociology of knowledge and, furthermore, how certain scientific theories have been criticized as being themselves ideological.
