The authors then take a forward look, suggesting where the field might go from here and what its future key areas might be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume will appeal to scholars and students in sociology, philosophy, intellectual history, and Scandinavian studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarl-Göran Heidegren\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Lund University, Sweden and has a Ph.D. in History of Science and Ideas.
