Geç Osmanlıdan Günümüze Modern Doğa Bilimciliği

The process of natural sciences becoming the object of study of social sciences started at disciplinary boundaries with the names of history of science and sociology of science and evolved over time into an interdisciplinary field of social science and technology studies. Sociologists, anthropologists and historians working in this field of study, with their practices that erode interdisciplinary boundaries, have opened both the historical context of science as an institution, the scientific community that produces natural scientific knowledge, and this knowledge itself to social scientific investigation.

Doğu Batı Publications, which had previously introduced the theoretical traditions in this literature to Turkish readers with its pioneering work titled "Science Sociology Reviews", now hosts empirical social scientific studies on the natural sciences of Turkey. In this study, which consists of historical/sociological research on the states, paradigmatic transformations and practices of natural science in Turkey within the historical spiral from the late Ottoman period to the early Republic and the present day, the authors also reflect on intersections and possibilities.

The series of research that started with this book and will be accumulated under the title of Science, Society and History, intends and undertakes to host social scientific studies of science working in empirical mode, with an interdisciplinary gesture that incorporates a historiography of science beyond chronicle and a practice of sociology of science beyond philosophical reflections.
