Synopsis
In Who Rules in Science? James Brown takes us through the various engagements in the science wars - from the infamous "Sokal affair" to angry confrontations over the nature of evidence, the possibility of objectivity, and the methods of science - to show how the contested terrain may be science, but the prize is political: Whoever wins the science wars will have an unprecedented influence on how we are governed.

Review
"Brown is a philosopher, and makes useful distinctions and candid judgments of other people's positions on science on almost every page. His overview combines breeziness with rigour in a way most textbook writers would envy" -- The New Scientist, 16 March 2002
