 Most philosophers of science strongly rejected the new sociology as relativist and irrationalist, the non-historicists among them adopting versions of strong realism, according to which mature science can knowingly, on internalist grounds, arrive at theoretical truth and genuine reference to theoretical entities, or closely enough. The eventual upshot was “the Science Wars” of the 1990s. By now (2017), the sides in this dispute have mellowed, fruitful conversations are taking place, and some degree of reconciliation has occurred (see Labinger &amp; Collins 2001). Work by feminists in science studies such as Donna Haraway (2004) and feminist philosophers of science such as Helen Longino (1990, 2001) and Miriam Solomon (2001) have rejected assumptions common to both sides in the debate, thereby opening the way to their more pluralistic, interactive, and less hierarchical options. Distinct prominent approaches to social epistemology by philosophers include Fuller 1988, Goldman 1999, and Rouse 2002.
