Abstract

This is one of the earliest works in Japan to introduce John Ziman's arguments on science and discuss it. His major books on science studies, i.e., Public Knowledge, Reliable Knowledge, Prometheus Bound, and Real Science are reviewed relatively and his argument of knowledge production in academic science is presented as Ziman' model. The acceptance of Ziman's model in Europe and U.S. are surveyed. Finally, the application of Ziman's model to the arguments of science studies in Japan is discussed.
