interdisciplinary perspectives.=20
Bruno Latour asked the question of whether we have ever been modern. =
Does a modern science exist?
How have arguments for the social constructedness of scientific fact =

specifically with the issue of whether modern science has been =
deconstructed in terms of actual scientific practice are especially =
welcome.=20
