“Most institutions demand unqualified faith; but the institution of science makes skepticism a virtue,”
― Robert K. Merton (In, Social Theory and Social Structure).
Social Theory and Social Structure (STSS) was first published in 1949, and revised again in 1957 & 1968. In 1998, STSS was listed by the International Sociological Association as the third most important sociological book of the 20th century.
