Book Description:

This refreshingly original book links the postmodern critique of notions such as "reality" and "truth" with approaches to knowledge found in science and technology studies (STS), a field also discontent with traditional epistemology. Exploring STS approaches to knowledge, such as actor-network theory, Ward forges a path through the impasse of the modernism vs. postmodernism debate. "Reconfiguring Knowledge" is an important work for social scientists and theorists, philosophers, historians, and scholars of science and technology.
