Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A proposal for an interdisciplinary, contextsensitive framework for assessing the strength of scientific arguments that melds Jrgen Habermas's discourse theory and sociological contextualism.Recent years have seen a series of intense, increasingly acrimonious debates over the status and legitimacy of the natural sciences. These "science wars" take place in the public arenawith current battles over evolution and global warmingand in academia, where assumptions about scientific objectivity have been called into question. Given these hostilities, what makes a scientific claim merit our consideration? In Cogent Science in Context, William Rehg examines what makes scientific arguments cogentthat is, strong and convincingand how we should assess that cogency. Drawing on the tools of argumentation theory, Rehg proposes a multidimensional, contextsensitive framework both for understanding the cogency of scientific arguments and for conducting cooperative interdisciplinary assessments of the cogency of actual scientific arguments. Rehg closely examines Jrgen Habermas's argumentation theory and its implications for understanding cogency, applying it to a case from highenergy physics. A series of problems, however, beset Habermas's approach. In response, Rehg outlines his own "critical contextualist" approach, which uses argumentationtheory categories in a new and more contextsensitive way inspired by ethnography of science.
