Gellner, Ernest (1992) Postmodernism, Reason and Religion, Routledge, London.
This is an assault on relativism and postmodernism. Gellner is wholly contemptuous of the
relativist view that science only seems true to us because it is so powerful in our time.
Hamilton, Malcolm B. (1995) Sociology of Religion: Theoretical and Comparative
Perspectives, Routledge, London.
This text provides a thorough and comprehensive review of the major debates in the
sociology of religion and is therefore a good starting point.
Webster, Andrew (1991) Science, Technology and Society, Macmillan, Basingstoke.
This contains a useful summary of the constructionist critique of scientific inquiry.
