Could anyone possibly suggest any good books regarding the problem of science taking part of the culture or the evolution of mankind? I am more interested in analytic works, rather than historical ones.
I have taken up a similar study but on the side of technology and its impact on society. With technology it is easier to study such effects and some of it might be directly linked to the underlying science. '
Some good books are:
Philosophy of Technology: An Introduction by Val Dusek
Does Technology Drive History?The Dilemma of Technological Determinism
Edited by Merritt Roe Smith and Leo Marx
If not directly at least these references can give you other views on how to tackle the problem and hopefully provide you with other references
