Description
Reviews / Votes
"Leon Olive's book is most notably original in its attempt to build a social theory of knowledge strongly tied to a realist epistemology... Such a synthetic theory is needed for the sociology of knowledge as an empirical science, one which must delimit its object of study and analyze the relations between human knowledge and its social base." - Ana Rosa Perez Ransanz, in: Dianoia (1988)"Leon Olive's book offers an exposition and critique of recent models of rationality in divergent philosophical traditions... Olive displays a convergence between Habermas and Hilary Putnam... [and] exhibits competence and precision on a variety of issues in different fields, as in his discussion of realism, particularly with regard to Van Fraassen." - Maria Pia Lara, in: La Jornada (1988)
