How to Think About Science
Series produced by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

If science is neither cookery, nor angelic virtuosity, then what is it?
Modern societies have tended to take science for granted as a way of knowing, ordering and controlling the world. Everything was subject to science, but science itself largely escaped scrutiny. This situation has changed dramatically in recent years. Historians, sociologists, philosophers and sometimes scientists themselves have begun to ask fundamental questions about how the institution of science is structured and how it knows what it knows. In this 24 part series, first aired on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, producer David Cayley talks with some of the leading lights of this new field of study.
