	David Bloor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Bloor is the director of the 'Science Studies Unit' at the University of Edinburgh (see Edinburgh School).
		David Bloor's book Knowledge and Social Imagery (Routledge, 1976) is one of the key texts of the strong programme.
		Bloor wrote extensively on the Kuhn/Popper debate, and is a representative figure of the sociology of scientific knowledge.

	Science Studies: David Edge: Obituary
		David played a full role in these discussions, though I sometimes had the feeling that he was holding himself back and letting others take the lead.
		David did all the administration, attended all the committee meetings, represented the Unit on all the boards of studies, and saw to the paperwork.
		David himself had lunch there on the day before he died, and it was here that several hundred of his friends gathered to meet his family and talk after the service.

	Bruno latour: POPARTICLES: For Bloor and Beyond - a reply to David Bloor's "Anti-Latour"
		David does not realize the strange "bootstrapping" of his sentence: it is as if he was saying that if you "drive a wedge" in a tree trunk you would render "problematic" afterwards the reconnection of the two parts of the trunk.
		Bloor is even honest enough to recognize that I have chosen to topicalize the one –and all its descendance– that he takes as its most essential ressource.
		Bloor aligns himself with the most reactionary philosophers of science who insist that science studies is all very well as long as it sticks to epistemological questions and leave entirely aside –that is to the scientists!– the ontological ones.

	Sociology of scientific knowledge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Bloor has contrasted the so-called weak programme (or 'program' — either spelling is used) which merely gives social explanations for erroneous beliefs, with what he called the strong programme, which considers sociological factors as influencing all beliefs.
		The strong programme is particularly associated with the work of two groups: the Edinburgh School (David Bloor and his colleagues of the Science Studies Unit at the University of Edinburgh), and the Bath School (Harry Collins and others formerly from the Science Studies Unit at the University of Bath).
		In addition discourse analysis (associated with Michael Mulkay at the University of York) and reflexivity (associated with Malcolm Ashmore at Loughborough University) are often taken to be major strands of the programme.

	David Bloor: The Strong Programme in the Sociology of Science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In this paper, Bloor first sketches a sociological project concerning science, and then defends this project against the objection that it does not take into account whether the sciences find truth.
		Bloor discusses one example in detail: Lord Kelvin criticized the theory of evolution by looking at the sun as a cooling body and then calculating the time it takes for the sun to completely cool down.
		Now Bloor moves on and says that this means that a theory does not need to correspond to reality but needs to correspond to itself.

		The purpose is to bring out the way in which social images and metaphors govern these rival claims, to determining their style, content and relations to one another.
		Although science was once seen as the product of individual great men working in isolation, we now realize that, like any other creative activity, science is a highly social enterprise, influenced in subtle as well as obvious ways by the wider culture and values of its time.
		David Bloor provides a challenging and informative evaluation of Wittgenstein's account of rules and rule-following.

		It challenged and divided the students of philosophy, sociology, and the history of science with the author’s radical claim that the sciences, even “hard sciences” such as physics and mathematics, are as dependent on social factors such as conventions, interests, traditions, and prestige as they are on observable physical phenomena or abstract logical necessity.

	Bloor Family Net - Jabez and North Staffordshire Dialect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Articles featuring 'Jabez' first appeared in the North Staffordshire Evening Sentinel in September 1968 under the pen name of A. Scott.
		Unknown to anyone in the family, my father, Wilfred Bloor had submitted a series of stories featuring 'Jabez', a composite character reflecting memories of his childhood in the small North Staffordshire village of Scot Hay (hence the pen name) and including carefully crafted snippets of the local dialect.
		What often amazed people who came to meet him was that all this was only one of his interests and that in 'real life' he was a scientist working in research to prevent occupational diseases in the pottery industry.

	Naturalistic Epistemology [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Kuhn's dual emphases on socio-political factors in theory choice and understanding science by studying the practices of scientists have led to several different strands of Kuhn-inspired naturalistic philosophy of science.
		The most radical strand is the so-called "sociology of scientific knowledge," often identified with the "strong programme" of David Bloor.
		At the heart of this program is a "symmetry principle," to the effect that true and false, rational and irrational scientific beliefs are to be explained in the same way.

		I got interested in the strong programme after reading David Bloor's book on Wittgenstein and his 'Knowledge and Social Imagery'.
		My supervisor (Ian Carter, who was involved with HWJ in the 70s and has worked a lot on the sociology of literature) has encouraged me to take the PhD in a 'literary' direction, and not get too worried about questions of methodological rigour.
