Human and Social Sciences in the Science-Technology-Society Articulation: Past and Future
Abstract
When in 1945 Vannevar Bush, director of the Office of the Office of Scientific Research and Development of the United States, wrote his well-known report Science: The Endless Frontier in response to the request of President Frank Delano Roosevelt, he declared that, when speaking of science, he had interpreted that the president had in mind the natural sciences, including biology and medicine, meaning that the progress in other fields, such as the equally important social sciences and humanities, had to be left out of the report. In any case, the report included a cautionary note: "It would be folly to establish a program in which research in the natural sciences and medicine is expanded at the expense of the social sciences, humanities, and other studies so essential to the national welfare" (Bush, 1945).
