Science and Society

Scientific progress has been shaped by diverse cultural contributions, but science education often marginalizes this history, perpetuating Eurocentric narratives and biases. Textbooks emphasize contemporary knowledge over historical context, overlooking the roles of non-Western cultures and women. The philosophy of science challenges traditional views, such as logical positivism, by focusing on falsifiability and exploring the ethical, societal, and philosophical implications of scientific advancements, highlighting the ongoing need for a more inclusive understanding of science’s global and interdisciplinary roots.
