"Knowledge and Reflexivity" is an exploration of the significance of the concept of reflexivity for sociology in particular and the social sciences in general. Concern with reflexivity arises from work in the social studies of science, which has shown that knowledge in the natural sciences is a product of social, cultural, historical and political processes. The book argues that it is high time that social science itself is seen as generated by those forces, and explores the consequences of reflexivity for social theory, social research and the practice of social science.
