“What have we learned about science and technology from the Russian
experience?” asks Loren Graham in the title of his book. What Graham has learnt,
and thoroughly, is how to split the difference between elitist “internalist” and
woolly “externalist” models of science. While science is a social construct,
reality still carries weight there; better models of the world, be they
political or physical, will eventually find their scientific expression.
